  • 3 cups Rice cooked

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced

Instructions

Make the cilantro lime rice

  • Add the cooked rice, lime juice, lime zest, ground cumin, and cilantro to a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

Make the shrimp

  • Add two tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and red onion. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and develop a bit of color, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside. Add the shrimp to the skillet adding a little more olive oil if necessary. Sprinkle with ground cumin, chili powder and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook just until the shrimp turns opaque, approximately 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook.

Make the rice bowl

  • To serve, divide the seasoned rice between four serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked vegetables and shrimp. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
