Prepare Rice:
- Begin cooking rice according to package directions.Note that some brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so plan accordingly.
Make the Guacamole:
- For guacamole, blend together avocado, yogurt, jalapeño, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Stir in the green onion.
Cook the Shrimp:
- Toss shrimp in paprika, oregano, garlic, cayenne, salt, and the juice from half the lemon. Set aside.Heat oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add shrimp to the pan and cook 1-2 minutes per side, until shrimp are opaque. Remove shrimp from pan.
- Lower heat to medium and add the butter to the hot pan. When the butter melts, add the remaining lemon juice and stir the liquid with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
- Serve rice, cooked shrimp, and guacamole in a bowl with diced tomatoes. Spoon the sauce from the pan over the shrimp. Serve right away.
Notes
- Cook time will vary depending on the type of rice used.
- Prep Time does not include preparing shrimp. It is difficult to know how long shrimp prep will take, because shrimp can be purchased in all stages of preparation. Be aware that if your shrimp need to be fully prepped, it will increase the prep time.
