Creating a Tropical Shrimp Rice Bowl is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, and water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. Cook the Shrimp: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp for added flavor.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
4. Assemble the Bowl: Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork. In serving bowls, layer the coconut rice, then top with the sautéed shrimp, bell peppers, diced mango, and sliced avocado.
5. Garnish and Serve: Finish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges on the side.
With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a stunning Tropical Shrimp Rice Bowl ready to enjoy!
