To save on prep time, here are a few suggestions:

If using shrimp, purchase shrimp that has already been peeled and deveined.

Hot cooked rice has never been easier. Purchase rice that can be heated in the microwave right in the pouch.

Use bottled minced garlic. Use 1/2 teaspoon for every clove of garlic called for in the recipe.

Purchase pineapple already peeled and cored from the produce section of the grocery store.

For an easy orange spritzer, reconstitute orange juice concentrate with sparkling water.
