Ingredients:

Lemon Herb Shrimp:

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined 🦐

2 tbsp olive oil 🌿

Zest of 1 lemon 🍋

2 tbsp lemon juice 🍋

2 garlic cloves, minced 🧄

1 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped 🌿

Salt & pepper to taste 🧂

Coconut Rice:

1 cup jasmine or basmati rice 🍚

1 cup coconut milk 🥥

1/2 cup water 💧

1/2 tsp salt 🧂

Strawberry-Basil Topping:

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced 🍓

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped 🌿

Zest of 1 lime 🍋

Salt & pepper to taste 🧂

Instructions:

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, basil or parsley, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 15-20 minutes to infuse flavors.

Prepare the Coconut Rice: Rinse rice and combine it with coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the rice is tender and has absorbed the coconut milk. Fluff with a fork. 🍚🥥

Make the Strawberry-Basil Topping: In a small bowl, combine diced strawberries, chopped basil, and lime zest. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. 🍓🌿

Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. 🦐

Assemble the Bowl: Place a serving of coconut rice in a bowl, layer the lemon herb shrimp on top, and finish with a generous spoonful of the strawberry-basil topping. Garnish with extra lime zest if desired for a fresh, citrusy touch.

This bowl combines refreshing flavors, balancing the tartness of lime and strawberry with the creamy coconut rice and savory shrimp. It’s a light, satisfying meal that’s perfect any time! 🌴💛
