Recipe notes and tips

  • You can scale up the recipe and make a big batch of shrimp if you’re planning to meal prep for the week. You can make the shrimp 3 days in advance.
  • You can use raw or frozen shrimp (thawed).
  • Make sure to dry off your shrimp completely with a paper towel, this allows the seasoning to stick to the shrimp.
  • If you wish to make this dish vegan, you can swap the shrimp for grilled or baked tofu or chickpeas.
  • Feel free to mix in your favorite fresh veggies.
  • I marinated the shrimp and pan seared them. You can grill them if you want. It tastes even better. I pan sear them most of the time because it’s just faster and more convenient for me.

FAQ’s

What’s the best way to assemble this Shrimp Taco Bowl recipe?

  • For the base: I used romaine lettuce for the base.
  • Top ingredients: Corn, Avocado, Black Beans, Cherry Tomato Pica De Galo (you can use just tomatoes if you like) and Otega® Yellow Corn and Red Bell Pepper Taco Shells that I crushed into little pieces.
  • Topping: I used their Flavor Craver Jalapeno Lime Taco Sauce! it’s soooooo good! It’s one of my favorite sauces out there. I use it with so many of the dishes I make.


All it really takes it putting the ingredients together in a bowl and topping it with a delicious sauce to make it juicy. Otega® has different types of sauces, so you can choose whatever you prefer. I have used their creamy Chipotle and Taco sauce before as well and I found them to be extra delicious.

Can I use frozen shrimp?

Yes you can. If you use frozen shrimp in this recipe, be sure the shrimp is completely thawed before cooking it. This will ensure that it cooks evenly. Thaw the shrimp overnight in the fridge in a sieve over a bowl to capture the water. or under cold running water until it is completely thawed.

Add ins and variations to this Shrimp Taco Bowl recipe

The best thing about these healthy taco bowls is that they are really customizable. Here’s some ideas:

  • Tomato Salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Crumbled Cotija Cheese
  • Chopped/sliced red onion or pickled red onion
  • Sliced Jalapenos
  • Salsa Verde
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Rice/Cauliflower Rice
  • Fajita Peppers

    Hi Miriam! I made your Taco salad Bowl last night and it was delicious! My husband and I both loved it! I’m going to write a note on my phone memo, so that I can make it often. I also texted my 2 adult kids, because I’m sure they, and our grandchildren will love this! Thank you for sharing a great recipe.
