Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked
- 2 avocado, diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions if not already prepared. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the diced avocado and grape tomatoes. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Gently mix and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Stir in the remaining tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble the stacks, use ring molds or a small round food mold on a serving plate. Start with a layer of jasmine rice, pressing it gently to compact it.
Add a layer of the avocado-tomato mixture, followed by a layer of shrimp. Remove the mold carefully to maintain the stack shape.
Garnish each stack with a sprinkle of cilantro. Repeat for the remaining servings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic Shrimp Stacks!
