No need to order takeout anymore! Your favorite fried rice dish is packed right into meal prep boxes for the entire week!
I know.
Sorry, guys.
It’s another shrimp recipe.
But I had 3 pounds of shrimp I just had to use up.
But don’t worry.
I got you guys.
Yesterday, we had shrimp pooled in a whole stick of butter and garlic.
Today.
Well, we have meal prep for the week.
It’s my version of yin and yang.
And if shrimp isn’t quite your jam, you can substitute chicken, pork, beef or tofu.
Or all of the above.
But please note.
The shelf life of shrimp lasts for about 3-4 days.
So please always use your best judgment regarding food storage and safety.
Or you can have all meal prep boxes in a day or so.
That’s what I do.
You know.
For safety.
