Burrito Bowl Ingredients
Shrimp: you’ll need one pound of raw peeled and deveined shrimp for this recipe.
Coconut Sugar: a little coconut sugar is used in the shrimp seasoning to help give the shrimp the perfect golden brown crust.
Lime Zest: you can’t have a burrito bowl without a little lime flavor, in my personal opinion! the lime zest in the shrimp seasoning really makes the flavor of the shrimp pop!
Spices: a combination of chipotle powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper give the shrimp the best flavor.
Cilantro Lime Coconut Rice: I use my delicious cilantro lime rice recipe as the base for these burrito bowls!
Toppings: you can add whatever toppings you like to your burrito bowl to really make it your own. I’ve included some suggestions below if you need a few ideas!
Olive Oil: you’ll use a little olive oil to cook your shrimp!
Ingredient Swaps and FAQs
- Shrimp – don’t love shrimp? you could easily use the same seasoning rub on white fish or salmon instead.
- Coconut sugar – you can easily swap the coconut sugar for brown sugar if you prefer.
- Oil – swap the olive oil for avocado or coconut oil if you prefer.
- Rice – don’t want to use white rice? swap it for brown rice or even cauliflower rice if you like!
How to Make This Shrimp Burrito Bowl Recipe
Prep the Shrimp: Add the coconut sugar, lime zest, chipotle powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper to a small bowl and stir until well combined. Pat the shrimp dry and then add to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the shrimp and toss until the shrimp are well coated.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil to the pan and then add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp is opaque and pink around the edges.
Assemble the Bowls: Start with a bed of rice and then top with the shrimp, black beans, shredded lettuce, avocado, pico, sour cream, etc.

Ways to Prep in Advance
These shrimp burrito bowls are perfect to meal prep in advance! A little bit of prep can make assembling these bowls incredibly easy. If you want to meal prep this recipe here are a few tips:
- Make the shrimp seasoning in advance – mix together the coconut sugar, lime zest, and spices in a small mixing bowl and then store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2-3 days until you are ready to use.
- Prepare the rice – I love to make a big batch of cilantro lime rice in advance to have on hand for burrito bowls. You can store the rice in the fridge for 3-5 days or freeze it!
- Chop the veggies and toppings – that way all you have to do is make the shrimp, reheat the rice, and then pile on the toppings!
