Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 10-ounce package frozen cooked rice (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos, plus 1 tablespoon brine
1 16-ounce can mild chili beans, undrained
3/4 cup frozen fire-roasted corn
1/2 cup roasted garlic salsa
12 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut into chunks
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 ripe avocado
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 burrito-size spinach tortillas
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the rice as the label directs; keep warm. Chop 1 to 2 tablespoons jalapeños; set aside. Combine the beans, corn and salsa in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and simmer until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro, the chopped jalapenos and brine.
  • Mash the avocado with the lime juice and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave until softened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Spread the avocado mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with some of the shrimp-bean mixture, then top with the rice. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll up.
  • Place the burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, lime wedges and pickled jalapeno slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. The vegetables in shrimp burritos add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and corn.
  • Choose the right tortillas. Burritos can be made with a variety of tortillas, such as flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or whole wheat tortillas. Choose a tortilla that is large enough to hold all of the fillings.
  • Don't overfill the burritos. If you overfill the burritos, they will be difficult to fold and eat. Fill the burritos with just enough fillings so that they can be easily folded.
  • Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings. Shrimp burritos can be served with a variety of toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Shrimp burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, shrimp burritos can be customized to everyone's liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, try making shrimp burritos.
