Expanded Directions:
- Cook the Rice: Start by cooking 1 cup of jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Fluff it with a fork once cooked and set aside to cool slightly. The fragrant jasmine rice provides a perfect base for this flavorful bowl.
- Prepare the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prep the Veggies: Thinly slice 1/4 cup of red cabbage and shred 1/4 cup of carrots. Slice 1/4 of an avocado into thin wedges. These colorful veggies not only add crunch and creaminess but also pack in essential nutrients.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a coconut bowl (or any bowl of your choice), layer the cooked jasmine rice as your base. Arrange the sautéed shrimp, red cabbage, shredded carrots, and avocado slices artfully on top.
- Drizzle with Sauce: Pour 2 tablespoons of soy ginger sauce over the bowl to tie all the flavors together. The sauce adds a tangy, savory kick that complements the shrimp beautifully.
- Finishing Touches: Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top for a nutty flavor and added texture.
- Serve Mindfully: Take a moment to admire your creation before digging in. Eating mindfully not only enhances your enjoyment but also helps you connect with the nourishment your meal provides.
