Shrimp are especially useful in bowls because they cook fast and take seasoning well. Lime and chile keep this one vivid enough to feel like a distinct dinner, not just assembled leftovers.

Why This Recipe Works

Cooking the shrimp quickly at high heat preserves their snap and keeps the lime flavor clean instead of cooked out.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups slaw mix
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss the shrimp with oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the shrimp quickly in a hot skillet until just done.

  3. 3

    Build bowls with rice, slaw, avocado, and shrimp.

  4. 4

    Finish with lime juice and serve.

Serving Suggestions

Ways to Serve This Dish

  • Serve with warm corn tortillas and fresh lime wedges

  • Top with crumbled queso fresco and sliced avocado

  • Pair with a side of Mexican rice and refried beans

Tips & Storage

Pro Tips

  • A spoonful of salsa or yogurt sauce is nice if you want more moisture.

  • Do not overcook the shrimp or the bowl loses some of its freshness.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat gently on the stovetop, in the oven, or in the microwave until hot.
