1 teaspoon adobo sauce ((the liquid from the can of peppers))
2 cloves garlic (, pressed)
2 teaspoons honey
3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

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.

I worked at a Mexican restaurant that specializes in Baja dishes, and became addicted to this burrito... I moved away, so I had to create my own. The Chipotle Sauce is what makes it oh so yummy!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onion
¾ cup long-grain white rice
¾ teaspoon cumin
¾ teaspoon garlic salt
1 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup canned diced tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
¾ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
12 ounces frozen cooked shrimp without tails, thawed
2 teaspoons minced garlic
½ cup plain yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup salsa

Steps:

Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in rice, and season with cumin and 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt. Cook and stir until the rice is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and the diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
In a small saucepan, stir together the refried beans, 3/4 teaspoon of garlic salt, and black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Place shrimp in a bowl, and stir in garlic until shrimp is coated. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray. Saute shrimp until heated through and lightly browned.
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle peppers until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Place about 1/4 cup of cheese onto each warm tortilla. Then place about 1/2 cup of shrimp on the cheese. Top with 1/4 cup of beans, and 1/4 cup of rice. Spread on about a tablespoon of the chipotle sauce, and salsa to taste. Roll up, and serve.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your burrito bowl will taste. Look for fresh, plump shrimp, ripe avocado, and crisp lettuce.

Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until it is pink and opaque.

Make your own Chipotle sauce: The Chipotle sauce is what really makes this burrito bowl special. You can find recipes for Chipotle sauce online or in cookbooks. Or, you can use a store-bought Chipotle sauce. But be sure to choose a sauce that is flavorful and not too spicy.

Assemble the burrito bowl just before serving: This will help to keep the ingredients fresh and prevent the bowl from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

The Chipotle Shrimp Burrito Bowl is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a burrito bowl that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the Chipotle Shrimp Burrito Bowl a try. You won't be disappointed!
