How to Make It:
1️⃣ Season the Shrimp:
In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This gives you that bold seasoning blend and easy flavor-packed upgrade.
2️⃣ Sear the Shrimp:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly crisp – it’s the perfect quick protein fix and a weekday lunch hero.
3️⃣ Sauté the Veggies:
In the same pan, toss in your mixed veggies. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Season with herbs and a pinch of salt for a colorful, nutrient-rich bite.
4️⃣ Fluff the Rice:
Heat or prepare white rice and sprinkle with dried parsley for a fresh touch and that herby rice glow-up.
5️⃣ Assemble Your Bowl:
Plate the rice, sautéed veggies, and shrimp side by side. Optional: squeeze a lemon wedge over the shrimp for a zesty finish – a balanced meal done right!
Notes
Cooking Note
Use peeled and deveined shrimp for easy prep. Adjust veggie mix to your preference—zucchini, bell peppers, or green beans work great too. Don’t overcook the shrimp; 2–3 minutes per side is enough for perfect texture.
