Ingredients

Shrimp Bowls

  • 1 1/2 lbs raw 16-20 shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2/3 cup salsa verde
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided
  • 4 cups steamed white rice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned black beans, warmed
  • 1 cup pico de gallo, for serving
  • shredded cabbage, for serving
  • guacamole, for serving

Chipotle Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
  • 2-3 canned chipotle peppers, plus adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Season the shrimp. Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, and cumin in a mixing bowl until well coated. Set aside.
  • Mix the chipotle sauce. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cook the shrimp. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and spread in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, until browned, and flip. Add the salsa verde to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Make the cilantro rice. Mix the lime zest, juice, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro into the rice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the bowls. Divide the rice into bowls and top with the shrimp and desired toppings. Drizzle with chipotle sauce and serve right away.
