Shrimp Burrito Bowls
Lighten up an everyday favorite meal by using shrimp instead of pork carnitas or steak. Shrimp is incredibly cheap, you can usually find it for less than $10.00 per lb, which yields about 2 burrito bowls! I’ve noticed that shrimp with the tail off is usually $5.00 more expensive per lb, just because they removed the shell for you! It takes 5 seconds to peel and clean, so I’ll stick to my cheaper, equally tasty, tail on shrimp. In turn, shrimp is one of the fastest things to cook, so get your hands dirty and peel those tails! These Shrimp Burrito Bowls are Chipotle inspired, but with half the calories (sans tortilla) and all the flavor!
