Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10–15 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until opaque and lightly charred.
- Prepare the Bowls: Divide cooked rice between bowls. Top with avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
- Assemble & Serve: Add grilled shrimp to each bowl. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with extra lime wedges or a drizzle of dressing, if desired.
Notes
Make it low-carb by swapping rice for cauliflower rice or shredded lettuce. Shrimp can be cooked on a stovetop skillet if a grill isn’t available. Add a spoonful of your favorite dressing or sauce like chipotle mayo or yogurt-lime crema for extra flavor.
