Prep 20 min · Cook 15 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, place the broccoli florets in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Drain the water and set the broccoli aside on a plate.
Wipe out the skillet and add the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp dry and season with the black pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, flip, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes more until pink and just opaque. Move the shrimp to the plate with the broccoli. Done when opaque in the center, 145°F.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil and minced garlic. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, lemon juice, and water, stirring to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the shrimp and broccoli to the skillet and toss for 30 seconds just to coat. Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon it into a bowl. Top with the shrimp and broccoli, and pour all the remaining pan sauce over the top.
