Halve the pepper & remove the seeds. Small dice the pepper. - Step 4
Wash & dry the cilantro, then finely chop. - Step 5
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers. Stir & cook until slightly softened, about 2-3 min. Remove the peppers & set aside. - Step 6
Heat another drizzle of oil in the pan & add the seasoned shrimp in an even layer. Sear for 1-2 min on the first side. Flip & give them a stir. Depending on the size of shrimp, cook for 1-2 more min until opaque in color. As the shrimp finish cooking, heat the rice according to package instructions. - Step 7
