Instructions
If you're building these bowls from scratch, here's my suggested order or preparation:
- Start by making the cilantro lime rice.
- While the rice is cooking, quick-pickle the red onions and set aside, stirring occasionally.
- Prep the pico de gallo and set aside.
- Sauté the shrimp.
- If using beans, heat them in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.
- Make the guacamole.
Assembly:
- Place ¼ of the rice into each of 4 bowls. Top with ¼ of the shrimp, and as much of each of the toppings as you like. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top of everything, if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Individual recipes are linked within the directions above, but feel free to mix and match, using ingredients and leftovers that you have on hand!
- The rice, pico de gallo, guacamole, and quick-pickled red onions can all be made in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble your bowls. I recommend adding a splash of cold water to the rice before reheating in the microwave.
- You can make the shrimp a day or 2 in advance, but they should be reheated very carefully. I recommend using half power on your microwave so they don't overcook.
