Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp:
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl with teriyaki sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, and Sweet Teriyaki seasoning if using. Toss to coat and let marinate for 5–10 minutes. - Heat the Pan:
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 400°F if using an indoor griddle). Add cooking oil. - Cook the Shrimp:
Add shrimp and marinade to the pan. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly caramelized. - Prepare the Rice:
Microwave jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork. - Assemble the Bowls:
Divide rice into bowls. Top with cooked shrimp, avocado slices, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Drizzle with sauce of choice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not marinate shrimp longer than 10 minutes; the sauce can start to break down the texture.
- Shrimp cook quickly—remove from heat as soon as they turn pink to avoid rubbery texture.
- Add steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, or snap peas for extra veggies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
