Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp Marinade
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
Shrimp Rice Bowl
2 cups cooked 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: cilantro ranch

Instructions

1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, spices, and cilantro. Add the shrimp, then toss until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

2. Assemble the bowls: Prepare rice according to package directions, then add your desired toppings to your bowl of rice.

3. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.

4. Serve: Add the cooked shrimp to your bowl and top with lime juice, cilantro, and cilantro ranch, if desired.

Notes

Don’t Overcrowd the Skillet: If you have a lot of shrimp, cook them in batches to ensure they cook evenly.

Use a Skillet That Heats Evenly: An evenly heated skillet is key to perfectly cooked shrimp.

Prep Ahead: Chop your toppings and cook the rice in advance to save time.

Taste and Adjust: Taste the shrimp and add more seasonings, if needed.

Serving Style: These bowls are even tastier when served immediately.
