Ingredients
  

For the shrimp
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined Look for wild-caught for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can also be used; just adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoky or sweet, depending on your preference.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the bowl
  • 2 cups cooked rice White, brown, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, corn – whatever is fresh!
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb those flavors.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high, aiming for temperatures around 400°F.
Cooking
  1. Place the shrimp directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn a lovely pink and opaque.
  2. In a serving bowl, layer the cooked rice first, followed by the grilled shrimp and mixed vegetables.
Serving
  1. Top with fresh cilantro and arrange lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowl.

Notes

Make sure to let the shrimp sit at room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
