📝 Ingredients :

10–12 medium shrimp, peeled & deveined

1 cup cooked white rice

1 cup mixed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots)

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp dried parsley or Italian herbs

🍽️ How to Make It :

1️⃣ Season the Shrimp:

In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This gives you that bold seasoning blend and easy flavor-packed upgrade.

2️⃣ Sear the Shrimp:

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly crisp – it’s the perfect quick protein fix and a weekday lunch hero.

3️⃣ Sauté the Veggies:

In the same pan, toss in your mixed veggies. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Season with herbs and a pinch of salt for a colorful, nutrient-rich bite.

4️⃣ Fluff the Rice:

Heat or prepare white rice and sprinkle with dried parsley for a fresh touch and that herby rice glow-up.

5️⃣ Assemble Your Bowl:

Plate the rice, sautéed veggies, and shrimp side by side. Optional: squeeze a lemon wedge over the shrimp for a zesty finish – a balanced meal done right!
