Follow these easy steps to create Garlic Lime Shrimp with Rice:

1. Rinse the Rice: Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch.
2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add the rinsed rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
3. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with lime juice, lime zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to marinate while the rice cooks, at least 10 minutes.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Garlic: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
6. Add the Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.
7. Combine with Rice: Once the shrimp are cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and add it to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
9. Serve with Lime Wedges: Optional lime wedges on the side allow guests to adjust the lime flavor to their taste.
