Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add shrimp and sear 90 seconds per side without moving until pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Brown ground pork in the same skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add minced garlic, stir constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in fish sauce.

  5. Step 5

    Return shrimp to the skillet, toss everything together for 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls, top with shrimp-pork mixture, squeeze lime over, scatter cilantro.
