THAI SHRIMP AND RICE

Thai Shrimp and Rice image

Raisins and coconut milk add a lovely hint of sweetness to this Thai dish, and freshly grated lime peel and minced gingerroot give it a wonderful aroma and flavor. The meal-in-one features enough shrimp and snow peas to add a fun flair to weeknight menus.-Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania
