Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoon lime juice ((about 1 large lime))
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper ((more if you want it more spicy))
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups uncooked white rice ((I like Minute Rice but you can also use quinoa, brown rice or lettuce))
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
- 1 jalapeno (sliced (optional))
- Fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 large avocado (sliced)
- 1 (15 ounce) can fire roasted corn (draineda)
- To serve: Homemade creamy jalapeno ranch (or store bought cilantro ranch)
Instructions
- Step 1: Start by marinating the shrimp. Add the olive oil, lime juice, spices and cilantro to a bowl medium bowl. Pat the shrimp dry, then add it to the marinade and toss to fully coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: While it’s marinading, assemble the shrimp bowls. Make the rice according to package instructions (I like minute rice), then top with desired toppings.
- Step 3: To cook the shrimp, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (no oil needed). When it’s hot, add the shrimp to the pan in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. The shrimp will turn an opaque and pink color and form a loose “C” shape when it’s done. Remove the shrimp from the heat and stir to fully coat it in any sauces that are in the pan.
- Step 4: Add the shrimp to your assembled bowl and top with more lime juice, fresh cilantro and creamy cilantro ranch if desired. See recipe notes for meal prepping.
