Shrimp Stir-Fry

Because I am a teacher, I had yesterday off of work for Martin Luther King, Jr Day. My boyfriend, Stephen, unfortunately did not have the day off. So I made him a meal that includes two of his favorites, spice and coconut rice. These things help disguise those dreaded vegetables...
