These burrito bowls are a budget-friendly dupe to the takeout versions. Trust me, you'll be excited to pull a bowl out for lunch or dinner every day!

How to Make Shrimp Burrito Bowls

This recipe uses my favorite protein - shrimp - and marinates it in a spicy Mexican seasoning. The whole meal looks like a lot of effort, but honestly, you're just heating up the veggies - and shrimp cooks quickly anyway.

If you want to meal prep for the week, store all ingredients separately in the fridge and just assemble these shrimp burrito bowls right before eating! For fewer carbs, try subbing the rice in my cilantro-lime rice recipe for cauliflower rice or quinoa! Sometimes I use my creamy 5-minute guacamole as a topping as well.

Ingredients

▢ 3 cups Copycat Cilantro-Lime Rice
▢ 20 ounces shrimp peeled & deveined
▢ 4 ounces romaine lettuce chopped
▢ 1 count canned black beans
▢ 1 count canned sweet corn
▢ 2 count avocados
▢ 2 ounces cotija cheese*
▢ 4 ounces 5 Minute Chunky Homemade Salsa
▢ 1 count lime quartered

Instructions

Marinate your shrimp in taco seasoning and red pepper for about 10 minutes (I never measure spices when cooking; just go with your gut and taste buds!)
In a skillet on medium heat, sear shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until done. Take off heat and set aside.
If you use the canned beans and corn, save some time and simply heat these up (either on the stove or in the microwave) since they are fully cooked!
In your bowl, create your base of chopped romaine and cilantro-lime rice (also heated until warm).
Top with beans, corn, shrimp, cheese, chunky salsa, and avocado.
Squeeze a quarter of a lime over each bowl for a pop of citrus flavor.
Serve alongside tortilla/plantain chips, a heated tortilla, or just dig right in and enjoy!

Notes

*I only had feta in my fridge... and it was still delicious, don't judge me! Like I said in the intro, anything can go into your bowl 🙂
