This Chili Lime Shrimp Fajita Bowl is easy, quick and super tasty. It’s absolutely perfect for a delicious lunch or easy weeknight dinner!
Today I am sharing one of my go-to easy recipes when I’m crunched for time. These chili lime shrimp fajita bowls are hearty, flavorful and healthy, all while being delicious and family friendly! These are so easy and customizable too, so if you have kids with certain tastes, you can swap out any of the ingredients. My son was head-over-heels for the shrimp. It’s not spicy, but has a wonderful smoky-tangy flavor.
I use precooked brown or multigrain rice, frozen fajita veggies and corn to make this recipe an even quicker one.
The shrimp cooks up in a flash and I’m always adding it to my salads or rice bowls. You could also use shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled steak or even just make it all veggies if you want!
Whether you’re trying to fit something a little healthier into your diet or just needing a crazy delicious dinner or lunch that’s ready in a flash, you’re going to want to try these bowls out! They are…
