The 3 Musts: Easy, Healthy, Yummy!
I shared a picture of My Go-To At-Home Lunch a few weeks back on my Instagram stories, and I had several of you message me requesting a blog post recipe for easy reference! I started making it at the beginning of quarantine, and now it’s my lunch meal 5/5 work days every week. It hits all the must-haves: it’s easy (and inexpensive) to make, it’s healthy, and it’s SO good! It also covers all your major macronutrients: protein (shrimp/egg), carbohydrate (rice), and healthy fat (egg/avocado). It’s packed with flavor and can also be tweaked to your liking based on your preferred choice of protein/toppings!

MY GO-TO LUNCH SHRIMP & RICE BOWLS
THE INGREDIENTS
- 8-10 Cooked Shrimps (remove tail before cooking)
- Seasoning(s) of Choice (I use Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, & Cayenne)
- Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice – Jasmine (this is the BEST rice – it’s kind of sticky and sushi-like)
- 1 Egg
- White Onion (diced)
- 1 Avocado
- Optional Toppings: Sriracha or Chili Garlic Sauce for spice!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Spray a small pan with PAM, and place on stove-top over medium-high heat.
- Season shrimp with seasonings of choice.
- Add seasoned shrimp + diced onion to pan. Cook until browned.
- While shrimp/onion is cooking, “cook” rice in microwave. This type of rice takes 90 seconds.
- When shrimp/onion is about 60 seconds from being done, move the mixture to one side of the pan and add your egg to the other side. Lightly scramble egg with a fork.
- Add preferred serving of rice to a bowl.
- Once shrimp/onion/egg are all cooked through, pour mixture over rice.
- Add avocado chunks + optional toppings.
- ENJOY!
