Cilantro Lime Shrimp Bowl is a vibrant and healthy meal featuring succulent shrimp marinated in a tangy cilantro-lime marinade, served over rice or greens with avocado, tomatoes, and lime wedges for a refreshing tropical-inspired dish.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    Zest and juice of 2 limes
    1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1 cup cooked rice, quinoa, or greens (like spinach or arugula)
    1/2 avocado, sliced (for garnish)
    1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for garnish)
    Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine and create a marinade.

  1. Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 10-15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  3. While the shrimp are cooking, prepare the base for the bowl by placing your choice of rice, quinoa, or greens in a bowl.
  4. Once the shrimp are cooked, arrange them on top of the rice or greens.
  5. Garnish with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, extra cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, add slices of avocado on top of the tacos.
  • For added heat, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños to the slaw.
  • For a smoky flavor, grill the shrimp instead of pan-frying them.
  • If shrimp isn’t your preference, grilled chicken or flaky fish like tilapia work great as well.
