a change of pace

Do you ever get a craving for shrimp? I suppose I do because I don't eat them all that often. So last night I made my other go-to shrimp fried rice recipe (I like to alternate with this one). I know what you're thinking: ham in shrimp fried rice? I know, I actually hadn't ever tried it with the ham until last night. It adds a little something. Of course, additional vegetables would also add a little extra something--literally and to the flavor profile--so that's always an option. Did I mention this is super easy? Just make sure to cook your shrimp thoroughly (the recipe says four minutes; I took about six).

I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
