Caribbean Shrimp Rice Bowls
Caribbean Shrimp Rice Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups of water
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 15oz can of black beans
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 12oz raw shrimp
- jerk seasoning
Instructions
1. We will be using basic white rice for our base, so you will make rice using 1 cup white rice and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
2. In a bowl, combine smashed avocado with sour cream. I like to add a little salt and pepper to this. Set aside.
3. Combine rinsed & drained black beans, 1 cup of pineapple tidbits with juice, and salsa in a small pan. We are basically just heating this up, so I cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes.
4. Toss the defrosted shrimp in jerk seasoning. If you like spicy go heavy on the seasoning, if you want a more mild flavor use less. Add shrimp to heated oil in a pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until shrimp turns pink.
5. Put your rice at the bottom of your bowl, top with bean/pineapple mixture, add shrimp, and serve with avocado cream!
