barley with shrimp and baby lima beans

Ingredients
Pearled Barley - 1.5 cups
Frozen Shrimp - 8 oz
Frozen Baby Lima Beans .5 lb
Chili Powder - 1 tbsp
Garlic Powder - Dash
Peanut Oil - 1 tbsp

Prep: Thaw the shrimp and baby lima beans in lukewarm water. De-tail the shrimp and chop into 4 even pieces.


1 BARLEY: Barley can be boiled and drained like pasta, but if you like to be more precise with your measurements, it is generally made in a 1:3 ratio with water. This should take about 15 minutes.

2 TOPPINGS: Heat 1 tbsp of peanut oil in a large pan and sauté the shrimp and baby lima beans. Add 1 tbsp chili powder and salt to taste.

3 MIX: When the barley is done, drain as much water as you can and add to the pan. Cook until it starts to sizzle. Add a dash of garlic powder, salt to taste, and serve!
