Creamy Chipotle Shrimp Rice Bowl: Bold Flavor in Every Bite

Instructions

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3: Stir in minced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and stir in the cream and Parmesan if using.

Step 4: Let the sauce simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add lime juice and season to taste.

Step 5: Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy chipotle sauce.

Step 6: Serve the shrimp and sauce over bowls of warm rice. Garnish with chopped cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges if desired.
