1 cup frozen shrimp, shelled and thawed
1/2 cup edamame, shelled and steamed
1/3 cup broccoli florets, chopped
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup brown rice, cooked

Directions:
In a pan over low-medium heat, sauté shrimp until cooked. Add edamame and broccoli. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Drizzle the sauce over the stir-fry. Serve with a side of brown rice.
