Shrimp Mandarin

1 large can mandarin oranges
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 (1/4 ounce) packages chicken broth
1/8 tsp. garlic powder water
1 bunch chopped green onions
1 pound shrimp
2 small packages frozen, thawed pea pods
1 tall jar drained mushrooms
Few sliced almonds
Rice or noodles

Drain mandarin oranges. Save liquid. Add enough water to equal 1 1/2 cups liquid. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add the 2 broth packets. Add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix. Microwave 2 minutes on HIGH. Mix and then microwave 2 to 3 minutes more on HIGH. Mixture will thicken a little.

In another bowl, mix sliced green onions, 1 pound shrimp, frozen pea pods (thawed) and mushrooms. Mix and add to thickened sauce. Put lid on and microwave 5 to 7 minutes on HIGH until shrimp is tender and done. Add mandarin oranges and a few sliced almonds. Put lid back on and let set 5 minutes before serving.

Serve over rice or noodles.
