A delightful Shrimp Fajita Bowl made from scratch featuring juicy shrimp, sweet roasted corn, and a zesty cilantro lime cream sauce. This dish is full of flavor with a perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and creaminess, making it a satisfying meal.
1: Brush the corn with olive oil and roast in a hot pot, turning every 2-3 minutes until desired char level is achieved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2: Once cooked, stand corn upright and cut along the sides to remove kernels.
3: Add black beans, 1.5 cups of water, and garlic to a small pot, then add scallion and salt. Boil on medium-low heat until beans are cooked.
4: In a mixing bowl, zest the limes, then cut and add the juice. Combine all other ingredients for the cilantro lime sauce in the bowl, mix and refrigerate.
5: Marinate the cleaned shrimp with dry ingredients for the shrimp fajitas in the refrigerator.
6: In a hot skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until onions are translucent, then remove from heat.
7: Sauté the shrimp on medium-high heat for 2 minutes before adding the veggies back to the pot.
8: Combine the veggies and shrimp, continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes before removing from heat.
9: Assemble the bowl with the shrimp mixture, roasted corn, cooked rice, and toppings like avocado, jalapeño slices, and lime wedges.
