Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the brown rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside.

      Sauté the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

        Prepare the Bowl: In serving bowls, start layering the ingredients. Begin with a base of brown rice, then add a generous portion of shrimp.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Top with diced avocados, diced red bell pepper, and chopped red onion. Feel free to adjust the amount of each ingredient based on your preference.

            Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the bowls for a fresh touch. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowls before eating.
