Method

  1. Devein, clean your shrimps and add them to a bowl with the spice mix
  2. Add the olive oil to a pan and fry the shrimps over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until cooked and put them in a separate bowl (reserve the oil in the pan for next step)
  3. Using the same pan, fry the corn for 5 minutes, reserve and do the same with the black beans for 3 minutes just to ensure they are warm
  4. Assembly time! In 2 separate bowls, add 2 cups of rice in each bowl and divide the rest of the ingredients as seen in picture above.

* Here are the additional recipes for the pickled cucumbers and burrito bowl sauce:

Pickled cucumbers: In a sauce pan, bring 1/4 cup of rice vinegar, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water to a boil. Turn off heat and add to a medium bowl with 1/2 large cucumber peeled and sliced.

Burrito bowl sauce: Mix together 1/2 cup of sour cream, 3 tbsp of Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice.
