Hawaiian Shrimp and Rice

Say Aloha to Hawaiian Shrimp and Rice. Dried pineapple and a pinch of coconut add just the right touch of tropical sweetness to this backpacking meal.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup shrimp, dried
• 1/8 cup pineapple, dried
• 1/8 cup bell peppers, assorted colors, dried
• 1/2 tsp coconut, dried
• 1/2 cup instant white or brown rice
• 1 cup water

At Home:

To learn more about dehydrating shrimp, peppers, and pineapple for this recipe, review the dehydrating meat, dehydrating vegetables, or dehydrating fruit pages.

Combine all dried ingredients in a zip style plastic bag, press out the air, and seal.

On the Trail:

Add contents of bag to pot with 1 cup water. Allow to rehydrate for five to ten minutes.

Light stove, bring to a boil, and continue cooking with the lid on at medium to high heat for a minute or two. Rice will turn out nice and fluffy if you don't stir it.

Place pot into insulating cozy. Wait ten minutes for the meal to continue rehydrating and cooking inside the cozy. Enjoy!
