Notes

  • For an easy meal prep option, store the shrimp, rice, vegetables, and sauce in separate containers. Assemble just before eating.
  • If you want a low carb shrimp bowl, substitute the rice with cauliflower rice or extra mixed greens.
  • Add sliced avocado or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
