Set a skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add oil, garlic, cumin, coriander and cardamom. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes until fragrant, it should NOT be bubbling. Then set aside to cool down to room temperature.
To a food processor, add remaining ingredients and do 3 – 4 pulse blends to roughly, yet finely, chop herbs.
Pour in the oil with the toasted seasonings and pulse blend to create a desired consistency, but do NOT pulverize.
Season shrimp with sea salt & pepper. Set a carbon steel skillet on medium high heat. Once hot, spray with avocado oil then add the shrimp and cook through, about 6 – 8 minutes. Place the shrimp on a cutting board and chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
Warm up the brown rice in the microwave or pot, then add to a mixing bowl, along with the shrimp and rest of the ingredients. Toss together, divide into 2 portions and enjoy!
