Being from Maryland we have to love seafood! It is sort of a state law or something. And growing up I always enjoyed shrimp, whether they were fried or steamed. My husband on the other hand has a love for all things Asian. He could possibly eat a different type of Asian food every day and never tire of it. When others want homemade chicken soup my husband wants Pho. So last Friday, since we are still in the middle of Lent and we aren’t supposed to eat meat, he suggested we make lemongrass shrimp. Of course, being us, we didn’t check to see if we had everything we needed to make the lemongrass shrimp. When we got home we realized we were missing the most crucial ingredient in lemongrass shrimp – the lemongrass. So with a quick flick of his culinary wrist, my husband came up with Grilled Curried Shrimp Fried Rice. It is truly delicious, and really low in calories, even with the fried rice. Nico devoured the shrimp and asked for more!

That looks delicious! I’m like your spouse… I can eat Asian food forever and ever, I never crave chicken noodle soup or stew or any of the traditional “comfort” foods from home.
I may have to make this later this week 🙂

I’ve been looking for a good fried rice recipe. I might leave out the shrimp but I am loving this recipe
I’m not a seafood person, but it’s still a pretty dish. I’d eat the rice though!
