For the Honey Sriracha Sauce:
- 2 Tbs Nutiva Coconut Secret coconut aminos
- 2 Tbs Sriracha

Instructions
Step 1: Cooking the Rice
Start by cooking the rice. In a pot, combine 1/2 cup of basmati rice, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let it cook for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Step 2: Preparing the Shrimp
While the rice is cooking, rinse and pat dry the defrosted shrimp.
In a bowl, season the shrimp with 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of onion powder, 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of avocado oil.
Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator while you prepare the vegetables and the sauce.
Step 3: Making the Honey Sriracha Sauce
In a small bowl or a Pyrex measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 pressed garlic cloves.
Mix well and set aside.
Step 4: Preparing the Vegetables
Chop the English cucumber into bite-sized cubes.
Shred the carrot, slice the avocado or chop it into cubes, and finely chop the scallion.
Set all the vegetables aside, ready to assemble the bowls.
Step 5: Cooking the Shrimp
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip them over and pour in the Honey Sriracha sauce.
Let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for another 2 minutes before removing them from the heat.
Step 6: Assembling the Bowls
Grab two bowls for serving. Start by adding 1/2 cup of cooked rice to each bowl.
Evenly divide the shrimp and the sauce between the two bowls, placing the shrimp on top of the rice.
Then, evenly divide the chopped cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, and chopped scallion between the two bowls.
