I created this awesome dish of shrimp with red and yellow pepper strips and sliced scallions complemented by a sweet and spicy sauce. The sauce included ginger, crushed red pepper, garlic, honey, rice vinegar, fish sauce and soy sauce. I served this over black rice - something I had never tried before...... it made for a beautiful presentation and I found it to be delicious. I learned that black rice is full of antioxidant-rich bran, which is found in the outer layer that gets removed during the milling process to make white rice. But only black-rice bran contains the antioxidants known as anthocyanins, purple and reddish pigments -- also found in blueberries, grapes, and acai -- that have been linked to a decreased risk of heart disease and cancer, improvements in memory, and other health benefits.
