Sweet and Sour Shrimp

Creative Girl here.  After a long Monday,  I just wanted something quick and easy.  I had brown rice leftover from my Mongolian Teef recipe that needed to be used and a bell pepper that was on its last day from last weeks sale.  Decided to use some frozen shrimp I got on sale for a quick recipe that tastes great!  Sweet and Sour Shrimp is quick and easy.  you can move easily between the steps, and if so desired can make the sauce in the microwave, if so inclined.  I also made a cucumber salad but was so filled up with this I did not get to try it yet.  Check back tomorrow for it.
