Delicious Shrimp Burrito
Delicious savory shrimp burritos for an easy,
extremely tasty week night dinner!
THE FILLING:
(1) cup rice, uncooked OR 3 cups rice, cooked (we use jasmati / texmati)
(1) lime
(1) Onion, Chopped
(10-15) Mini Bell Peppers, cored and sliced into rings
(1) tbsp Garlic, Chopped
(1) tbsp Old Bay Seasoning
(1) tbsp “Everything But the Elote” Trader Joe’s Seasoning (optional but so tasty!)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
(2) tbsp Light Butter
(1 lb) Shrimp, uncooked, thawed, tails / shells removed
(8) Burrito Sized Tortillas (look for the carb balance option!)
(3) cups “Mexican blend” Reduced Fat Shredded Cheese
(8 oz) Salsa Fresca or Pico de Gallo
OTHER FILLINGS TO CONSIDER INCLUDING: Corn, Black Beans, Refried Beans, Lettuce, Your Favorite Hot Sauce, Avocado / Guacamole
THE SAUCE:
(1/2) cup Light Sour Cream
(1/2) cup Light Mayonnaise
Juice of Half the Lime
(1) tsp Salt
(1) tsp Old Bay Seasoning
(1) tsp Everything But the Elote Trader Joe’s Seasoning (optional but so tasty!)
MAKE IT:
Cook your rice according to the package. Include 1 tbsp butter in with the rice as well as 1 tsp salt. Once fully cooked, zest lime over rice and combin
While rice cooks, start making your filling and sauce. Saute onion in oil in large pan. Add peppers (and other add ins such as corn and beans) after about 8 mins. Season with 1/2 the old bay and 1/2 the EBTE Seasonings and 1 tbsp butter. Once veggies are about cooked through, add garlic, and cook until browned. Push the veggies to the side of the pan. Add 1 tbsp of butter to pan, melt, and then add shimp. Season with the remaining seasonings, salt, pepper. Cook until shrimp are just opaque, white / pink, careful not to overcook (about 5 mins). Remove pan from heat, mix shrimp and veg together, and squirt half of the lime juice over mixture.
Mix together all sauce ingredients. Season with salt to taste.
ASSEMBLE!
Using 2 tortillas per burrito, overlap the tortillas by several inches. Start laying down your filling – careful, do not overfill! Laydown 1/2 cup of cheese, 2/3 cup rice. Spoon salsa and sauce over the top of the rice, then add 2/3 cup of shrimp & veg mixture. This helps the sauce from squirting out all over your counter when you roll. NOW – ROLL! Fold in left and right sides, then, using your thumbs, pull up and wrap the edge closest to you over all of the ingredients. Tighten up the sides and fold them in further, then roll the tortilla the remainder of the way by pushing the filling into the tortilla with your fingers. This will take practice, but you can do it.
Heat a clean, non-stick pan on your stovetop. One at a time, lay burrito seam side down and sear the burrito to close. Brown both sides.
ENJOY!
