Remember the coffee rub you got for the grilled shrimp?  It can't sit there forever.  Got to find some ways to use it up, right?

Par-boiled wild rice became one of my favorite kitchen staples.  Frozen spinach is one of the best deals you can find in the supermarket.  I highly recommend you to have 1-2 boxes in your freezer all the time.  Raisins and Crasins belong in the same categories as the wild rice and frozen spinach, too.

This wild rice side dish can serve with other side dish or entree.  So, bear this in mind.  Here are a few recommendations for you:

• Outback Steakhouse Buffalo Shrimps
• Roasted California Blend Vegetables
• 15-minute Broiled Lemon Chicken

A lot of my fans like clean eating.  Because of this reason, I purposefully stay away from chicken broth.  That means less preservatives and less sodium.  But please feel free to substitute water with the broth per your preference.
