Directions
Step 1: Cooking the Rice

- Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a lid and reduce to a simmer.

Step 2: Preparing the Shrimp
- Rinse and pat dry the defrosted shrimp.
- Season the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and avocado oil.

Step 3: Making the Honey Sriracha Sauce
- In a Pyrex cup, mix together the coconut aminos, Sriracha, honey, and pressed garlic cloves. Set the sauce aside.
Step 4: Preparing the Vegetables
- Chop the English cucumber into bite-size cubes.
- Shred the carrot.
- Slice or cube the avocado.
- Finely chop the scallion.
- Set the prepared vegetables aside.
Step 5: Cooking the Shrimp
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp, spreading them out in a single layer.
- Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip the shrimp and pour in the prepared sauce.
- Let the shrimp simmer in the sauce for about 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 6: Assembling the Bowls
- Divide the cooked rice evenly between two bowls, adding about 1/2 cup of rice to each.
- Evenly distribute the shrimp and the sauce over the rice.
- Add the chopped cucumber, shredded carrot, sliced avocado, and chopped scallion to each bowl.
- Serve immediately or place into containers and refrigerate for later.
