Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Avocado Rice Bowl Recipe

Description:

The Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Avocado Rice Bowl presents a vibrant and colorful feast for the eyes. A generous serving of fluffy jasmine rice forms the base, adorned with the creamy green of freshly diced avocados providing a luscious contrast. The bright red cherry tomatoes add bursts of color, while the shrimp glisten in their spicy lime marinade, creating an appealing golden hue.

Each bowl is a lively mosaic of textures and colors, inviting and promising a delightful taste experience.


Ingredients:

  • - 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • - Juice and zest of 2 limes
  • - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • - Salt and pepper, to taste
  • - 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
  • - 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • - 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • - 1/2 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • - Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and squeeze in the juice of one lime, mixing well.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Stir in the lime juice and zest, cooking for an additional minute.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the avocado rice mixture among serving bowls and top with the cilantro lime shrimp. Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired.
