Ingredients

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 cup long-grain brown rice

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 teaspoons light-brown sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen

1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed and halved on the diagonal

1 piece (1 inch long) fresh ginger, peeled and cut into matchsticks

1 Hass avocado, pitted and cut into chunks

Preparation

In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add rice; cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl or liquid-measuring cup, stir together soy sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Set sauce aside.

When rice has finished cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp, snow peas, and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook until shrimp are opaque throughout and snow peas are bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.

Divide rice among four bowls. Top with shrimp mixture and avocado; serve sauce on the side.
