Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Don't stir for 2 minutes until bottoms turn opaque.

  4. Step 4

    Flip shrimp, add minced garlic, and cook 90 seconds more until shrimp curl and garlic is fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Squeeze half the lime juice over shrimp, add 1 tbsp oil, and stir once.

  6. Step 6

    Divide rice between two bowls. Top with shrimp and pan juices.

    Slice avocado and arrange on top. Serve with remaining lime wedge.
