Ingredients

  • 16 medium cleaned, shelled, tail-on shrimp (about 3/4 pound), thawed if frozen
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • Small pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, steamed
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 1/4 cups short-grain brown rice (can replace with jasmine rice), cooked according to package directions

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler.

  2. In a medium ovenproof pan, toss the shrimp with 1 teaspoon each of the sesame oil and the honey.

  3. Add the cayenne.

  4. Lay the shrimp flat. Broil for 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the remaining teaspoon of sesame oil.

  6. Pour in the eggs. Cook undisturbed until set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just set on the second side, 1 more minute.

  7. Transfer to a board and cut into strips.

  8. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and rice wine vinegar with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon honey.

  9. Fold the edamame and sesame seeds into the rice.

  10. Serve the rice in bowls topped with the egg strips, shrimp, and avocado.

  11. Place the soy-vinegar mixture in a small bowl and use at the table for drizzling.
