  4. Toss until the shrimp are well-coated and let marinate for 5-10 minutes.
Preheat Cooking Device

Cook the Shrimp

  2. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pink and opaque.
Prepare Jasmine Rice

Notes

For meal prep, store shrimp and rice separately from avocado and sauce to keep them fresh. Consider using cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for extra spice.
