Shrimp and Vegetables

Guacamole Salad

Rice

Method

Preparing the Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of long-grain rice, 2 cups of water, and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Cooking the Shrimp and Vegetables

  1. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat, add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and diced tomato. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Stir in the grilled vegetables and mix to combine.

Making the Guacamole Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with lime juice. Add diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and salt to taste. Mix well until combined.

Serving

  1. 6
