# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium pot, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork and stir in lime juice.
02 -
In a bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink and slightly charred. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat.

In serving bowls, add a scoop of coconut rice as the base. Top with the cooked shrimp and garnish with sliced avocado, diced red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Drizzle with additional lime juice if desired and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
