Healthy Shrimp Burrito Bowls is the second recipe in my meal prep series!  And it will not disappoint!  This recipe is packed with flavor and you can turn up the “heat” or make is mild.  It really is that easy!  The original recipe is from The Better Blondie.  The original recipe is Wholefood, Paleo and low carb.  I tweaked mine but as always, I make recipes according to mine and my families likings!  You can see the original recipe HERE!

Easy Variations

As with all recipes, I make sure I share ones that are easy to change and adjust.  This one is no different.  As I am new to meal prepping, I am sharing recipes created by others until I get a “handle” on creating my own.  But this recipe would be easy to trade out proteins.  Shrimp has some great health benefits that you can read about HERE!  But not everyone likes or can eat shrimp.  So feel free to trade out your protein for chopped cooked chicken or tofu.  I’m sure this would be great with shredded pork too!

Change the Heat on this Chipotle Burrito Bowl!

Another easy adjustment I did was the amount of Chipotle Powder used.  The original recipe called for 2 tablespoons.  That was a little too spicy for us!  However, 1 tablespoon still gave it a bang of flavor without making us drink several glasses of water during and afterwards! Even more sour cream did not cool down the spice factor!  So spice it up or not!  There is still plenty of flavor in this delicious Shrimp Chipotle Burrito Bowl!  Again, this is an easy shrimp burrito recipe that you can call your own by adjusting some of the ingredients!

Optional Additions

Feel free to add a slice of avocado, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to this too!  There are so many ways to make this the perfect dish just for you!  I purchased small “shot cups” to keep our sour cream in!  You can purchase them HERE from Amazon!

    This sounds delicious! I would have to lower the heat in this meal, too. My husband will be adding all the spice back into his after I make it though!

    This looks so delicious! Not to mention easy to make. I love shrimp and have never really tried it on a burrito bowl. For whatever reason, I’ve only had chicken or beef. I need to make this asap!

    My daughter has been wanting to make a bowl type dish lately. This sounds wonderful! We were thinking of rice with toppings but didn’t know where to start.
