Ingredients

  • 12 oz oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3/4 cup cup basmati rice
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) can canned diced tomatoes

  • 1 tsp tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup cup, chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 whole, juiced lime
  • 1/2 tsp tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups cups water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the basmati rice, then combine with 1.5 cups water and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Rest off heat, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff.

    Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook 4 minutes until soft.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic, chipotle chili powder, and ground cumin; stir 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and 1/4 cup water. Simmer 8 minutes until slightly thickened, then season with salt.

  5. 5

    Stir the shrimp into the sauce and cook 3-4 minutes, until pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Push the shrimp mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil to the empty side, crack in the eggs, and cook 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are soft.
