Spiced Up Shrimp with Rice & Beans

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

If necessary, peel & devein the shrimp. Place the 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!
