Sweet Chili Shrimp Rice Bowl

There’s nothing like sweet and spicy shrimp. We douse these little buddies in a sublime sweet chili sauce, with slight hints of heat, and top with salty peanuts and fresh green onions. Chili crustaceans… count us in

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Shrimp

  • 6 oz Long Grain White Rice

  • 1 oz Roasted & Salted Peanuts

  • 1/4 oz Tamari Soy Sauce

  • 1/2 tsp Cilantro Lime Pepper

  • 8 oz Green Beans

  • 2 oz Sweet Chili Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp Cornstarch

  • 2 Green Onions

  • 1 tsp Minced Ginger

Directions

  • ~~~ Start the Rice ~~~

  • Bring a small pot with rice water to a boil.

  • Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Remove from burner and set aside.

  • While rice cooks, continue recipe.

  • ~~~ Prepare the Ingredients ~~~

  • Trim green beans and cut into 2” pieces.

  • Coarsely chop peanuts.

  • Trim and thinly slice green onions.

  • Pat shrimp dry. In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp and cornstarch. Toss or gently stir until coated evenly. Set aside.

  • ~~~ Finish the Rice ~~~

  • Spray a large non-stick pan generously with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add green beans to hot pan and cook, 1 minute.

  • Stir in 1/4 cup water and cilantro lime pepper salt. Cover and cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.

  • Stir in cooked rice until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

  • Remove from burner. Cover and set aside.

  • ~~~ Cook the Shrimp ~~~

  • Place another large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 3 Tbsp. olive oil. Let oil heat, 3 minutes.

  • Add shrimp to hot pan and cook until shrimp are pink and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

  • Add sweet chili sauce, ginger, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Stir often until sauce is bubbling and coats shrimp, 1-2 minutes.

  • If too thick, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner.
