Super Easy
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized zucchinis sliced in half and seeds removed
- 1lb fresh shrimp peeled and deveined (look for small shrimp)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup store-bought cooked white rice or microwavable rice
- 1 cup Mayo
- 1 tbsp siracha sauce or hot sauce
- ½ lime juiced
- 1 bunch of chives for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss your shrimp, oil, and spices together until the shrimp is fully coated.
- Air fry your shrimp at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through and pink. If you do not have an air fryer, you can do the same thing in the oven.
- Cut your zucchini in half longways so you have 2 zucchini boats from 1 zucchini. Using a spoon, remove the seeds from the inside of the zucchinis, making a well for the rice to nestle inside. Set aside.
- While the shrimp is cooking combine your mayo and siracha sauce together in a bowl. Once it is thoroughly combined, I transfer it to something I can easily pour it out of.
- You also want to make sure your rice is warmed or cooked while the shrimp is cooking. If using store-bought cooked rice, there really isn’t anything else you need to do. This also could be a great way to use up leftover rice.
- Begin building your boat by filling the boat with white rice, topping it with 3-4 cooked shrimp, and drizzling it with your spicy mayo.
