A delicious and vibrant Spicy Grilled Shrimp Taco Bowl featuring marinated shrimp, creamy avocado, and zesty cilantro lime rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
- While the shrimp is marinating, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are opaque and cooked through.
- To assemble the taco bowls, divide the cilantro lime rice among serving bowls. Top with grilled shrimp, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn, and red onion. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the shrimp marinade.
- Substitute quinoa for rice for a protein boost and a different texture.
