This was an interesting experiment that we thought would go well with the Bam!!! grilled shrimp. Mom had recommended Trader Joe's pre-cooked wild rice in a bag. All you do is pop the bag into boiling water for a few minutes and it's done. I didn't like how it came out of the bag, kind of chunky, and not as fluffy as the jasmine rice did out of the microwave. John really liked it and thought it would go well with pork chops. I'll stick with the jasmine rice.
