Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice and half the garlic salt to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, peel then cut carrot into 1/4-inch rounds.
- Add carrots and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 15 min. (NOTE: Carrots will continue to cook in step 4.)
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp. Pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a plate. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
- Drizzle with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then toss to coat.
- When carrots have roasted for 15 min, carefully remove from oven.
- Add shrimp to other side of the same sheet, then drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sweet chili sauce over top.
- Return carrots and shrimp to the oven until carrots are tender and shrimp is cooked through, 8-10 min.**
- Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers.
