Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • To start, get the brown rice cooking first as it takes the longest. If using a rice cooker, add the rice along with 2.5 cups of water and a pinch of sea salt. If cooking on the stovetop, follow the instructions that come with the rice product packaging.
  • In a medium bowl add the shrimp along with the chili powder, cumin, granulated garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Stir together and allow to marinade for up to 30 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and once you have a hot pan, add the avocado oil. Add the shrimp and sear on one side for 2 minutes, flip, and allow the second side to cook for 1-2 more minutes. The shrimp will be pinkish when done and no longer opaque.
  • Prepare the melon by slicing it in half and scooping out the seeds. Cut off the outside yellow skin, and then dice the juicy fruit into small pieces.
  • To make the creamy salsa verde drizzle sauce, whisk together the yogurt, salsa, and fresh lime juice in a small bowl. To make it super smooth and creamy, you can also blend it in a blender.
  • Once everything is ready to go, assemble your spicy shrimp bowl! Begin with a layer of warm brown rice, and add the diced melon, spicy shrimp, pico de gallo, greens, cilantro, and a drizzle of creamy salsa verde. Garnish with a shake of sesame seeds, green onions, red pepper flakes, or creamy avocado!
