2 pieces avocados, diced Make sure they’re ripe but not overly mushy.

Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a saucepan, combine rinsed rice with 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add shrimp once oil is shimmering, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side.
While shrimp are cooking, mix lime juice, honey, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Once shrimp are cooked, pour the sauce over them and stir until well coated.
