- The shrimp are done when they turn opaque and form a 'C' shape.
- Pan sear the shrimps or grill them if you have an easy outdoor grill set up.
- Keep an eye on the shrimp as they cook! You don't want to overcook them and they turn rubbery.
- Cook the rice according to package directions before getting started on the shrimp so it cooks while you are preparing the shrimp.
- Top the shrimps with some chopped green onions to add in some more fresh flavors
- To spice things up, you can add in some crushed red pepper flakes.
- If you are a heavy eater and need more macro, double up the quantity.
