Shrimp and rice in a flash

Peppery, stir-fried shrimp served over a bed of tart, lemony rice makes a delicious Chinese dinner. Basmati rice has a fragrant aroma and smells like popcorn when it's cooking. I've added peas to the rice because they're quick and easy-to-use, but any type of green vegetable will work fine.
