Chipotle Lime Prawn Burrito Bowls Recipes

CHIPOTLE LIME SHRIMP BOWLS

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a bowl or gallon freezer bag, and add 2 tablespoons of the oil, lime juice, chipotle peppers, adobe sauce, garlic, honey, salt, cumin, and pepper. Massage the ingredients into the shrimp and let the shrimp rest on the counter for 15 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Spread the shrimp across the pan and discard any remaining marinade. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they've turned lightly pink on the outside and the insides are turning white.
• Assemble the bowls with the rice, black beans, veggies and sprinkle with cilantro. Drizzle with more adobo sauce and a squeeze of lime if desired.

CHIPOTLE BURRITO BOWL WITH BLISTERED VEGGIES AND MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whiz together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, dates, garlic and chipotle pepper in a blender until it's well combined and thick. This dressing is particularly thick, which I love, but if it feels to thick you can thin it out with a bit of water. Set dressing aside until you're ready to eat. There will be leftover dressing that you can keep for your next salad!
• For the steak and marinade: In the same blender (it's ok if there is a little dressing at the bottom), add the oil, cilantro, red onion, tomato paste, cumin seeds, dried chipotle pepper, salt, cayenne, pepper and garlic and blend until it's thick. Give it a taste, make sure you're happy with it and then pour it into a resealable plastic bag with the meat, refrigerate and marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight.
• When you're ready to grill the steak, select a grill pan (or use an outdoor grill) and grill over a high heat until there are rich beautiful char marks, 4 minutes, and then flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes on the second side, depending on how rare you like your meat. For a medium rare, cook it 2 minutes, if you like it more well done, do 4 minutes. Allow the meat to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into strips.
• For the roasted veggies: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the olive oil, dried chipotle pepper, coriander, cumin, oregano, black pepper and salt and give it a good mix. In batches, add the bell peppers, cauliflower and onion and toss to coat. Distribute the vegetables evenly between both baking sheets, leaving room between all the vegetables to ensure they don't steam while they roast. Roast until fully cooked and the peppers begin to char, 20 to 25 minutes.
• To assemble: Toss the lettuce and cabbage with a touch of salt and 2 tablespoons of dressing. Continue adding dressing until you're pleased with the taste of the greens. Put the greens at the bottom of 4 bowls, top with roasted veggies, steak and guacamole if using. Finish with a touch of cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. If you're not prepping this dish for 4, just use what you need and put the rest in resealable containers for the next day.
• Combine the avocado, chives, white onion, lime juice and salt in a mixing bowl. I prefer the guacamole on the chunkier side, so I gently stir until combined, but you can also mash the avocado if you like it creamier.

CHIPOTLE & LIME SHRIMP BOWLS

Steps:

• Stir together 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of Old El Paso taco seasoning, lime juice, diced chipotle pepper and adobo sauce. Add the shrimp and toss to coat all the shrimp in the mixture and set aside. Let the shrimp rest on the counter while you prep your other ingredients.
• Heat a 10" stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining teaspoons of olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 min.
• Add the shrimp and half of the remaining marinade to the pan. Let the shrimp cook for 2 minutes then turn them over and cook for an additional minute. Remove shrimp from the pan when they're finished cooking.
• Divide the rice between the 4 burrito bowls and top each with a drizzle of the remaining chipotle sauce from the pan. Add the purple cabbage, corn, avocados and shrimp. Garnish each bowl with chopped cilantro.
• Serve and enjoy!

CHIPOTLE & LIME PRAWN BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Mix the red onion with the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Cover and leave to pickle for at least 1 hr or overnight. To prepare the prawns, mix the chipotle paste, honey, lime zest and juice and oil together, then toss in the prawns until they're coated in the mixture.
• Put the leftover rice in a large bowl and mix with the lime zest and juice, most of the spring onions and the kidney beans. Season lightly. Spoon the mixture into two shallow bowls.
• Top the rice with the pickled red onions, spiced prawns, sweetcorn, sliced avocado, the remaining spring onions and tomatoes. Spoon the crème fraîche on top, then serve with the coriander and a sprinkling of chilli flakes, if you want it spicy. Serve the extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over, if you like.
