- Add shrimps in a single layer, sprinkle with salt and pepper; cook for about 2-3 minutes until shrimps are opaque and cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and set aside. Once the rice is cooked, remove from the heat, stir in lime juice, zest, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro, fluffing the rice with a fork.
- Divide the rice among 4 glass containers, then add the garlic shrimp next to it. Add in optional toppings if desired, then place the lid on and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
