Parsley Shrimp, Plantains, Beans and Rice

Kathryn says: This week is a pretty busy one for me. I know many students can relate. I have a project due, a test to take, a job fair to attend, an application for graduating with honors to submit and group fitness instructor auditions to go to. Thus, I needed to come up with some simpler meals. Although this one looks like something fancy enough to order in a Cuban restaurant, it requires few ingredients, and it’s quick and simple to make. My friend Erin was over while I was cooking, and she was surprised at how fast the flavorful meal came together.

1. Pour olive oil into a medium pan. Add shrimp and mix on medium-high on the stove.
