An easy meal that appeals to everyone in the family is sitting on my table. You can learn how to make Shrimp/Rice Bowls and have dinner in less than 20 minutes and on your table.
Every Shrimp Bowl starts off with a base. The one I am sharing with you has brown rice. I will also show you an example made with Zoodles. You can also stir black beans into your rice and make a black bean rice combo base. If you love Quinoa than you can use that for your base too. Use lettuce or kale for a lower calorie meal.
One thing I like about this meal is if you are gluten-free, this works for you. If you are watching calories or carbohydrates, just use lettuce and this meal works for you. If you are picky, don’t put an item on the bowl. If you have a seafood allergy substitute chicken instead. A win-win meal for everyone.
If you were to invite people over for a meal you could ask each guest to bring one or two of the layers/toppings and you supply the rice and shrimp or chicken option.
What I like about using brown rice is it has more fiber than just white rice and you can make it in brown minute rice if time is an issue.
Ingredients: Lettuce, Shrimp sautéed with red peppers/onions/spices, corn, tomatoes, avocados, black beans, salsa, and cilantro lime dressing. Here is the recipe to enjoy!
