Sweet Fire Shrimp and tempura green beans Yeah Baby

What do you do when Hubby comes home with green beans?
Make Sweet Fire Shrimp and tempura green beans!

But you dont know how to do that? Oh it's easy, I'll show you.

First you need some tempura batter. This is simply 1 cup flour, 1 cup cold water, and 1 egg, mixed together.

Next you dredge the green beans in the tempura batter and fry it in vegetable oil. Make sure its hot oil or it takes forever. 

Flip them once when they start to brown.

Give them a sprinkle of salt once you pull them out and lay them on paper towels. 

Next we batter the fish the same way. 

Start the sprouted short brown rice (or whatever rice you like)

Cut up 1 red pepper, and 1 1/2 cup pineapple.

Cook these in a second frying pan with a little bit of oil for 3-4 mins, turning every now and then. 

Once they are done, add sweet chili sauce: (Pictured here is Panda Express brand, got it at Kroger).

Doesn't that look yummy?

To plate, put the rice and shrimp down, and the pepper/pineapple sauce on top. Add a side of tempura beans and dig in. Perfect!

Here is a mock recipe for Panda Express's sweet fire chicken that I borrowed to make this: 

I just replaced the chicken part with my tempura shrimp.
