This garlicy recipe comes together fast! About 30 minutes from start to finish. And it's also very versatile. If you wish to add meat to it, have it cooked and set aside to add at the end. We like it with shrimp, and it's also good with leftover thinly sliced pork or beef. You can also add other kinds of vegetables. If you prefer your vegetables to be softer, just saute it a little bit longer.
