EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Chicken is a great substitute for the shrimp in this recipe. Use 1/2 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces.

Try basmati or jasmine rice with this stir-fry. Start the rice before you start cooking the peppers, preparing as directed on the package.

Any reason you cannot use any margarita mix, or must it start off frozen?

I tried this recipe and am in love! It was so easy and delicious. I am not usually a fan of cilantro, but it added just the right touch to this dish. The rice absorbed the flavor of the juices and the result was wonderful. 5 spoons for sure!
