⏰ Start cooking the rice first as it takes about 20 minutes to prepare while the shrimp cooks quickly
🍤 Watch shrimp carefully to avoid overcooking – they should be curled and opaque, not rubbery
🥦 Customize vegetables based on availability – broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers, or zucchini work well
