Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice

1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prepare the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

      Mix in Vegetables: Once the shrimp is cooked, add the red onion, corn, and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and lime juice, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are warmed through but still crisp.

        Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, place a generous scoop of jasmine rice. Top with the savory shrimp and vegetable mixture, and then add the diced avocado on top.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over each bowl and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
