Directions

Step 1: Cooking the Rice

1. In a pot, combine 1/2 cup basmati rice, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer.
3. Cook for 15 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before removing the lid and fluffing the rice with a fork.

Step 2: Preparing the Shrimp

1. Rinse and pat dry the defrosted shrimp.
2. Season the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and avocado oil.
3. Mix well to ensure the shrimp is evenly coated with the seasonings. Let it marinate in the refrigerator while you chop the vegetables and prepare the sauce.

Step 3: Making the Honey Sriracha Sauce

1. In a Pyrex cup, mix together the coconut aminos, Sriracha, honey, and pressed garlic cloves. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4: Preparing the Vegetables

1. Chop the English cucumber into bite-size cubes.
2. Shred the carrot.
3. Slice or cube the avocado.
4. Finely chop the scallion.
5. Set the prepared vegetables aside.

Step 5: Cooking the Shrimp

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp, spreading them out in a single layer.
2. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip the shrimp and pour in the prepared sauce.
3. Let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for about 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6: Assembling the Bowls

1. Divide the cooked rice evenly between two bowls, adding about 1/2 cup of rice to each.
2. Evenly distribute the shrimp and the sauce over the rice.
3. Add the chopped cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, and chopped scallion to each bowl.
4. Serve immediately or place into containers and refrigerate for later.
