Great meal for the 'on the go' family.

Ingredients

4 cups Fresh or frozen broccoli florets

2 cups Instant brown rice (about 4 cups cooked)

1 tablespoon Olive oil

1 Small oniom, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1 1/2-2 teaspoons Curry powder

1 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 1/2 cups 1 % lowfat milk

3 tablespoons All-purpose flour

1 pound Small or medium cooked shrimp, fresh or frozen, thawed

1/2 cup Reduced-fat sour cream

1/4 cup Roasted cashews, optional

Preparation

1. Steam the broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside uncovered.

2. Cook the rice according to package directions.

3. While the rice is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, curry powder, garlic powder, and salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk and flour in a bowl until well blended.

5. Add the milk mixture, broccoli, and shrimp to the skillet and bring to a simmer stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer and stir gently until the liquid thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

6. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream.

7. Serve in individual bowls over rice and sprinkle with cashews as desired.
