• Before You Cook If using any fresh produce, thoroughly rinse and pat dry Cooking Guidelines To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures: Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) | Seafood 145° F | Chicken 165° F | Ground Beef 160° F | Ground Turkey 165° F | Ground Pork 160° F 1 Cook the Rice Bring a small pot with 1 1/2 cups water and jasmine rice to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 minutes, or until tender. Set aside and keep warm. While rice is cooking, start preparing ingredients. 2 Prepare the Ingredients Quarter lime. Stem, seed, and thinly slice red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince garlic. Stem and coarsely chop cilantro (reserve a few leaves for garnish). Pull any strings from snow peas. Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. 3 Sear the Shrimp Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. sesame oil (reserve remaining for curry). Add shrimp to hot pan and cook 2 minutes, or until browned. Transfer shrimp to a plate. (Shrimp will finish cooking in a later step.)
