Ingredients
Step-by-Step
Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the potato slices to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine.
To assemble the rice bowls, divide the cooked rice among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the garlic shrimp, diced avocado, and crispy potato slices. Drizzle the lime-herb sauce over the top and serve immediately.
