Description

These Honey Harissa Shrimp Bowls start with a base of crisp lettuce and fluffy rice. Then, you add sweet and spicy, marinated harissa shrimp and all the best toppings. Everything comes together in less than 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons harissa sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

For Serving Example

  • chopped romaine
  • cooked white rice
  • pickled onions
  • crumbled feta
  • avocado
  • chopped fresh mint and dill

Instructions

  1. Add the harissa, honey, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper to a mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined. Next, add the shrimp and toss until well coated. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to let marinate.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp to the pan, shaking off excess marinade, in an even layer, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp is opaque and pink around the edges.
  3. Once all of the shrimp is cooked, assemble your bowls. Start with chopped lettuce, white rice, all of the toppings, and shrimp.
