This recipe was created one day when I came home feeling starving and all I wanted to do was go out to eat Panda Express because that is my favorite fast food place. The best thing about this is that it is QUICK and really, really EASY. It also tastes absolutely amazing, and I continue to make this balanced meal at least once a week. It keeps me content with eating at home and is a good switch up meal to keep me from eating the same foods. Shrimp is a great source of protein that is also low in calories, and bell peppers are a great source of Vitamin A! The brown rice is a great source of fiber to keep you full, and aid in digestion.
