Lime Rice

1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, deveined (tail on or peeled)

tablespoons olive oil

¾ teaspoon each kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin

black beans

corn

cup pico de gallo

recipe Chipotle Ranch Dressing

For serving: avocado slices, cherry tomatoes (optional)

Start the rice

 Start the Cilantro Lime Rice (open the rice recipe in a separate tab).

Cook the shrimp

 Thaw the shrimp, if using frozen. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or preheat the broiler (or you can sauté it: keep reading!). Pat the shrimp dry. Mix it in a bowl with the olive oil, salt and spices. Place the shrimp in an even layer on a baking sheet (lined with parchment paper, if you’re baking). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until juicy and opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Or for broiling, broil for 3 to 6 minutes, until juicy and opaque, rotating the tray as necessary for even cooking. If you prefer, you can sauté the shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the butter on medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until just opaque and cooked through, turning them with tongs.

Make the beans and corn: 

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the beans. Drain the corn. In a medium bowl, mix the beans, corn, and pico de gallo with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. 

Make the dressing

Serve

 To serve, place the rice, black bean corn salad, and shrimp in a bowl. Add avocado and cherry tomatoes, if using. Drizzle with dressing and top with extra chopped cilantro (leftover from the rice). 

Homemade shrimp cooked just like your favorite hibachi restaurant.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat then add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes.

Stir in the soy sauce, garlic and sesame oil. Continue stirring and cooking for about 3 more minutes or until the shrimp have turned pink and curled up.

Add the lemon juice to the pan and stir and cook for another 2 minutes or until the sauce has reduced a bit.

I used frozen shrimp and my family absolutely loved this! It's going to be in our regular rotation from now on.
