Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls

14 February 2020 Bookmark • 0

When I consider a burrito bowl, i feel of Chipotle like i'm sure most of the people do. That was my first experience with eating one and has given me plenty of inspiration over the years of creating my very own reception . We usually do vegetarian burrito bowls, and sometimes address them several times throughout the week.

As much as i am keen on the vegetarian burrito bowls we make, and hope to share them with you soon, i'm far more crazy immediately with these Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls.

Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls

Shrimp is one among my favorite proteins to eat, and that i like cooking with it due to how briskly it cooks. the particular base of this meal, the rice, is what takes the longest to cook.

The salsa, and spicy shrimp only take a couple of minutes to throw together. I usually start my rice then wait twenty minutes approximately to start out the salsa, then cook the shrimp.

Spicy Shrimp:

2½ teaspoons chili powder
2½ teaspoons cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1½ pounds raw shrimp, deveined & shelled

Corn Salsa:

2 cups corn, (thawed if frozen)
½ red onion, diced
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup diced tomatoes (I used cherry)

4 cups, cooked rice
2 limes, juiced
⅓ cup chopped cilantro

Start by cooking the rice according to the package directions. Once the rice is done mix in the lime juice, sugar, cilantro, and salt.
