- Add the shrimp, carrot, green beans, bell peppers, corn, mixed vegetables, peas, and the chicken bouillon, stirring well and adjusting the salt
- In a large baking dish, mix the cooked rice, diced fruits, and the sautéed vegetables, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated

- Finish by garnishing the dish with fresh parsley or cilantro leaves before serving at the table
Observations
This colorful rice is an excellent way to use leftover cooked rice and transform it into a unique dish. The combination of sautéed vegetables with the freshness of mango, apple, and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet and savory flavor that the whole family will love. If you prefer a more protein-rich version, simply add grilled shrimp during the sautéing process.
