Lime Shrimp Bowls

A spicy bowl of chipotle lime shrimp, served over rice, beans, and fresh tomatoes is best served with a side of refreshing tequila.

If I’m indulging in a night of tequila drinks, I love nothing more than to order up a spicy dish to go along side – enter this chipotle lime shrimp skillet.

Let’s talk about this skillet – one it’s huge! You can serve a family or a handful of boozed up friends. It’s piled high with rice and beans, grilled corn cut from the cob, juicy ripe tomatoes, fragrant cilantro (lots of cilantro), warm tortillas, wedges of lime, and whatever else you desire.

Two – this skillet has shrimp! Garlic-y, spicy chipotle lime shrimp all topped with a sprinkle of cilantro. This shrimp is sizzled in a skillet with fresh squeeze lime juice, diced garlic and chipotle peppers in adobo. Cooked to perfection and then gently placed on top of your huge skillet of toppings.
