Ingredients

The Shrimp

  • 6 oz. jumbo shrimp raw, peeled
  • 1 whole lime juiced
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. chipotle seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic large, minced

The Salad Bowl

  • 1 cup multi colored bell pepper julienned
  • ½ cup onion sliced
  • 2 tsps. olive oil
  • ¼ cup black beans
  • 3-4 whole butter lettuce leaves or normal lettuce
  • ½ whole avocado peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup corn
  • 1 whole serrano pepper sliced
  • ½ cup white rice
  • 2 tbsps. cilantro fresh, chopped

Instructions

  • To prepare the shrimp, marinate with lime juice, chipotle seasoning, garlic and salt. Bring a skillet to medium high heat and add the olive oil. Pan sear the shrimps on each side for 5 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown in color. Set aside in a bowl and cover with foil wrap.
  • In the same skillet, add 2 tsps. of olive oil and sauté the bell pepper and onion until tender. Set aside to cool.
  • To assemble the salad bowl, add in the lettuce leaves and start stacking the other ingredients next to each other to assemble the dish. You can enjoy as is or drizzle your favorite dressing onto the salad and serve.

Notes

  • Feel free to scale this recipe up to make multiple bowls for the whole family.
  • Shrimp is cooked once it goes from translucent to opaque. If you overcook shrimp, it’ll taste rubbery. 
  • Make sure the pan is hot before adding the shrimp to it for a crispy exterior. 
  • 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.
  • I marinated the shrimp and pan seared them. You can grill them if you want.
