Cooking the Rice
  1. Start by cooking your choice of rice according to the package instructions, usually taking about 15-20 minutes.

Sautéing the Shrimp

Notes

Use chicken or tofu as a protein substitute if desired. Ensure shrimp are spread out for even cooking. Feel free to add toppings like sesame seeds or fresh herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat carefully.
