Burrito Bowls are one of my favorite foods of all time. What's better than a bowl packed with all your favorite ingredients? It's a flavor party! Not to mention, I firmly believe every food tastes better in a bowl but that's a conversation for another day :)! Burrito bowls are great for weekly meal prep or for entertaining your guests - serve every ingredient into its own bowl and serve buffet style so your guests can build-a-bowl! Burrito bowls are so customizable - make it how you like it! If there's an ingredient you don't love, leave it out - no sweat!
These chipotle shrimp burrito bowls are so full of flavor! The textures are on point and I have a feeling you'll fall in love with these. They pack a little heat and a whole lot of flavor. P.S. The chipotle sauce is *chefs kiss*!
What You'll Need:
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 tbsp avocado oil (any oil will work)
• 2 cups chicken bone broth (water or regular broth is great)
• 1 lb large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 chipotle pepper, chopped
• 3 spoonfuls of chipotle "juice" from the can
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 ear of corn
• 1 avocado
• Sliced red onion
• Cherry Tomatoes, quartered or halved
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• Charred Pineapple, fresh
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tps cumin
• Handful of cilantro
• Salt & pepper to taste
How to:
≥≥ Let's get the rice going first! Rinse your rice until the water runs clear. Get 1 tablespoon of oil into a pan heating and toss in the washed rice. Toast until some of the rice is a light golden brown color. Add in your chicken bone broth, get the lid on, and cook over a low boil according to rice package instructions. Once al dente, keep the lid on but move the rice off the heat and let it continue cooking by the steam.
≥≥ Shrimp time! Get your shrimp into a bowl and include the chopped chipotle pepper, 2 spoonfuls of chipotle "juice" from the can, 1/2 a lime juiced, and honey. Salt and pepper to taste (don't taste it raw, pretty please). Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes (or longer).
≥≥ Char your ear of corn. If you have a gas range, you can do it directly on the flame or in a pan or grill is great, too! Let it get charred and pull it off the heat and resting on your cutting board to cool.
≥≥ Chop all of your toppings up! Avocado, red onion, pineapple, corn, tomatoes, and cilantro. Set aside or get into their own bowl if serving to a group of people.
≥≥ Char your pineapple in a pan until it's a golden color.
≥≥ Make your sauce! Get your sour cream, a spoonful of chipotle "juice" from the can, smoked paprika, cumin, salt & pepper into a bowl and mix together until creamy!
≥≥ In a pan or cast iron, heat up a tablespoon of avocado oil on medium high heat. Get your marinated chipotle shrimp cooking! Cook 3-4 minutes on both sides or until shrimp is browned on the outside and reaches an internal temperature of 120º F.
≥≥ Plate up your bowls how you like it! Rice, then shrimp, toppings and drizzle with the oh-so-delicious creamy chipotle sauce. Serve with a lime wedge.
