Ingredients
Shrimp Bowls
12 oz shrimp, thawed
1 packet Siete taco seasoning, divided
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
(microwavable rice works great)4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup frozen corn, cooked
(steam-in-bag corn is my choice)8 tbsp pico de gallo or salsa
4 tbsp reduced-fat feta cheese
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, sliced
EVOO spray, for cooking
Creamy Taco Sauce
⅓ cup low-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
Remaining ¼ packet Siete taco seasoning
Directions
1. Cook the Shrimp
Once shrimp is fully thawed, toss it with ¾ of the taco seasoning. Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly spray with EVOO, and cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prep the Bowl Ingredients
Cook rice and corn according to package instructions.
(I love using microwavable rice and steam-able corn to keep this meal extra low-effort.)
To make the sauce, blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then mix with the remaining taco seasoning. It turns into the creamiest, smoky taco sauce!!
