Fancy-Ass Prawns with Green Rice
I cannot count how often my mom makes this rice for lunch, but quite a few time a week. she loves it! It’s hard to not get jealous of her meal plan, because knowing how good it is, it makes sense that she wants to eat it all the time. Honestly, she makes a lot of variations to the rice seasoning to keep it interesting, but in my opinion, green rice is hard to bit.
Green rice is made with a mix of cilantro, kale and spinach. This simple three ingredients really gives more complex flavors than the plan white rice that I normally eat and it really doesn’t add much effort. I guarantee you are going to want to make this rice over and over again. It not only it’s tasty, but also you can have a fancy-ass dinner in 30 minutes!
You are going to impress. Yes! Please take all the credit!
