Rice bowls are one of the easiest and quickest meals to whip up when you want something filling and delicious. These Chipotle Shrimp Bowls are hearty, delicious, and full of flavor. Not to mention, the prep is even easier thanks to Minute Rice Cups. Minute Cilantro & Lime Jasmine Rice Cups make these shrimp bowls a breeze to make without sacrificing any of the yummy flavors!
Minute Cilantro & Lime Jasmine Rice Cups are lightly seasoned with zesty and natural flavors including lime juice, cilantro, and sea salt. The best part? They take only one minute to cook in the microwave fully. It’s the perfect base for these Chipotle Shrimp Bowls and if you’re a busy mom like me, then you know the easier the recipe, the better!
So without further ado, keep reading to grab the full recipe and assembly instructions.
Here is what you need to make these delicious Chipotle Shrimp Bowls:
These shrimp bowls are the perfect easy weeknight meal and they reheat beautifully making them perfect for meal prep or for a quick lunch the next day!
I used cooked, medium peeled, and deveined tail-on shrimp for this recipe, but you are welcome to use raw shrimp if you’d like, although you may have to adjust the cooking time to ensure that your shrimp are fully cooked.
How To Prepare The Shrimp:
Once you have all of your ingredients, combine all of your seasonings, and drizzle olive oil onto the shrimp. Add the seasonings to the shrimp and gently toss until mixed well.
PRO TIP: Be sure to pat your shrimp dry so that the seasonings adhere to the shrimp.
Once seasoned, drizzle a bit of olive oil in a hot skillet and heat for 3-5 minutes or until nice and brown on both sides. Remove from the heat and set aside.
How To Prepare The Chipotle Shrimp Bowls
In your favorite bowl, add your cooked cilantro & lime jasmine rice to the bottom as the base of the bowl. Top with roasted corn, beans, diced tomato, diced avocado, and your shrimp. Drizzle a generous amount of the homemade chipotle sauce (optional), garnish with cilantro (optional), and enjoy!
How To Prepare The Homemade Chipotle Sauce:
While these chipotle shrimp bowls are absolutely delicious on their own, I love to add an easy homemade Chipotle Sauce to add an extra burst of flavor. To make the sauce, combine chipotle peppers, sour cream, olive oil, honey, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend for at least one minute or until smooth and creamy. For a thinner sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons of water until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes
If the Chipotle Sauce becomes too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
To Store: I recommend storing each individual ingredient separately in an airtight container to maintain freshness and avoid a soggy shrimp bowl. While the Minute Rice Cups reheat beautifully, for maximum flavor, I recommend heating a fresh rice cup before preparing your bowls. Store ingredients in the fridge for 2-3 days. I highly recommend using a glass container if possible, but no matter what container you use, make sure that it’s air-tight!
To Reheat: Thankfully this meal reheats extremely well and makes for a yummy lunch the next day! However, I highly recommend using a fresh Minute Rice Cup for your bowl for the most delicious flavor and quality.
Since the shrimp and other ingredients are already cooked you want to be careful not to overcook them. Simply add your desired portion size of each ingredient in a microwave-safe container, add 1-2 tsp of water and microwave for 1 minute up to 1:30.
