recipe

  • Step 1
    In a small bowl, combine chili lime seasoning, ground cumin, 1/2 a tsp of salt & 1/2 a tsp of ground pepper.
  • Step 2
    Place defrosted shrimp into a medium bowl & add the seasoning. Toss well to evenly coat the shrimp. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Halve the pepper & remove the seeds. Small dice the pepper.
  • Step 4
    Wash & dry the cilantro, then finely chop.
  • Step 5
    Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers. Stir & cook until slightly softened, about 2-3 min. Remove the peppers & set aside.
  • Step 6
    Heat another drizzle of oil in the pan & add the seasoned shrimp in an even layer. Sear for 1-2 min on the first side. Flip & give them a stir. Depending on the size of shrimp, cook for 1-2 more min until opaque in color. As the shrimp finish cooking, heat the rice according to package instructions.
  • Step 7
    In a bowl, combine the heated rice & cooked peppers. Add drained & rinsed beans, along with most of the chopped cilantro & lime juice (about 1/2 a lime per serving). Add a pinch of salt & mix it all together.
  • Step 8
    Add the seasoned shrimp over the rice & garnish with any leftover cilantro. Enjoy!
