To make this delicious meal, you will need to gather several items from your local grocery store or your pantry. Make sure your ingredients are fresh for the best possible flavor. Here is exactly what you will need for two large servings:
-
One pound of large shrimp: Make sure they are peeled and the dark vein is removed from the back. You can leave the tails on for looks or take them off for easier eating.
-
One cup of white jasmine rice: This type of rice is very fragrant and soft which makes it the best base for the bowl.
-
Two cups of water: You will need this to cook the rice perfectly so it is not too sticky or too dry.
-
Two ripe avocados: Look for ones that are slightly soft when you press them but not mushy.
-
Two tablespoons of olive oil: This is used for cooking the shrimp and adding a little bit of healthy fat to the pan.
-
Three cloves of fresh garlic: You should mince these into very small pieces to release all the flavor.
-
One teaspoon of chili powder: This provides the main spicy heat for the shrimp.
-
Half a teaspoon of smoked paprika: This adds a nice deep flavor that tastes like it was cooked over a fire.
-
Half a teaspoon of onion powder: This helps to round out the savory taste of the seasoning blend.
-
One tablespoon of honey: A little bit of sweetness helps to balance out the spice from the chili powder.
-
Two tablespoons of fresh lime juice: You will need about one large lime for this to give the dish a bright and citrusy finish.
-
One half teaspoon of salt: You can add more or less depending on your personal taste.
-
One half teaspoon of black pepper: Use freshly ground pepper if you have it for the best punch of flavor.
-
One medium cucumber: Sliced into thin circles to add a refreshing crunch to your bowl.
-
A handful of fresh cilantro: Chop this up roughly to use as a beautiful and tasty garnish on top.
-
Optional sriracha sauce: If you really love heat, you can drizzle some of this spicy sauce over everything at the end.
