Shrimp Stir-Fry
This easy home-cooked meal is a more difficult at the campsite—cutting veggies on a picnic table can take time away from hiking and playing with your kids. As a mason jar meal you get the best of both worlds: time to play and a delicious meal to eat.
Jar Layers, bottom to top:
- 2 cups 2/3-cooked brown rice
- 8 to 10 thawed, peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1/3 cup diced raw broccoli
- 1/3 cup raw snap peas
- 1/3 cup raw diced zucchini
- 1 tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 tbsp. seafood seasoning blend
- 1 pinch each salt and pepper
Pour your mason jar ingredients into a hot pan with olive oil. Top with a squeeze of lemon juice, and serve with a Caesar salad.

- 2 cups half-cooked sausage
- 1 cup chopped raw bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped raw red onion
- 1 cup raw spinach
- 2 squares of butter
In the morning, pour the jar into a hot pan and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk your eggs in a bowl and pour them in. Serve with a side of toast and fresh strawberries.
