Instructions
1οΈβ£ Marinate the Shrimp: Add olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and fresh chopped cilantro to a 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. π€
2οΈβ£ Prepare the Rice Bowl: While the shrimp is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions. Assemble the rice bowls by adding the cooked rice, diced red onion, diced cherry tomatoes, sliced jalapeno (if using), fresh chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and fire roasted corn. ππ₯
3οΈβ£ Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (no oil needed). When itβs hot, add the marinated 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 opaque and pink, forming a loose βCβ shape when done. Remove the shrimp from the heat and stir to coat it in any sauce left in the pan. π€π₯
4οΈβ£ Assemble and Serve: Add the cooked shrimp to your assembled rice bowl. Top with additional lime juice, fresh cilantro, and creamy cilantro ranch if desired. Enjoy your Fiesta Shrimp Bowl! π€π₯πΆοΈ
