Meal-prep just got a whole lot tastier with these shrimp burrito bowls. They’re loaded with spicy shrimp, charred fajita veggies, beans, corn, brown rice and topped with a tasty creamy sauce.
The entire dish comes together very quickly and can be all done in under 30 minutes. I first cook the bell peppers in a tablespoon of olive oil until they are soft and tender, then remove them and add the shrimp and cook for just 2 minutes or until done! The shrimp is seasoned with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. If you don’t have all the spices on hand, taco seasoning works great too!
For the corn, canned, cooked, or frozen works great. I like to use the frozen roasted corn from Trader Joes! It’s sweet and charred and makes a great addition to any salad or Mexican dish.
For the brown rice, I use quick cook brown rice. The kind that cooks in 15 minutes. Traditional brown rice, quinoa, or your favorite type of rice will also work.
