I was looking through my freezer deciding what to cook when I saw the shrimp, I said to myself.... humm, I bet I can turn this into something delicious like Shrimp Peas & Rice that won't take too long to cook. So, I took out a box of "Rice a Roni" from the cabinet and prepared it according to the direction on the back of the box. Then before I let it simmer, I added the peas and the shrimp. After about 15 minutes of simmering, it was ready.... all it all , this simple meal took about 30 minutes to make and was simply delicious!
