We are all stretched for time. But you can still serve up a delicious, home-cooked meal without spending hours in the kitchen. The trick is to make the most of the time you have, which is why I swear by time-saving products like Minute Rice.
Besides being quick, convenient, and dependably delicious, Minute Rice is made for everyone, regardless of dietary concerns. That’s because it’s vegan/vegetarian and totally free of preservatives, cholesterol, and sodium. Plus, Minute White Rice and Minute Brown Rice are also Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten free certified.
So on those busy week nights when you think that you just don’t have time to cook, grab a box of that easy and super versatile Minute Rice. My Garlic Butter Shrimp & Rice Foil Packets are an entire meal that you can have on the table in less than 20 minutes… and that includes the prep time!
And, the ingredient list is super short and you can even mix up the veggies based on what you have on hand.
All it takes is maybe 5 minutes of assembly and then the packets go on the grill for 10 – 12 minutes. Everything cooks up in individual packets making this a recipe that you can easily adjust to feed 2, 4 or more! And when it comes time to clean up, you simply toss the foil in trash and you are done! Quick, easy and absolutely delicious… a winning combination that you can enjoy any night of the week!

- Scoop 1/2 cup of the rice (with any liquid) and place next to the veggies.

- Carefully open the packets and enjoy!
Whether you prefer the light, fluffy texture of white rice or the nutty taste and slightly chewier texture of brown rice, you just can’t beat Minute Rice when it comes to the combination of flavor and convenience.
