🔪 How to Make Chimichurri Shrimp Bowls
Prepare the Chimichurri Cauliflower Rice according to the directions.
While the cauliflower rice is cooking, prepare the Chimichurri Shrimp as well.
Take the cauliflower rice and add it to your bowls.
Place some of the shrimp on top.
Add some sliced avocado and red onions.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and a dollop of the sour cream in the center.
Garnish with lime slices and fresh cilantro over the top, then serve.
☑️ Storage Instructions
If you have leftovers, the best way to store then is to store the ingredients separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. I do not recommended freezing leftovers because the avocado and fresh veggies do not hold up well.
🍴 What to Serve with Chimichurri Shrimp Bowls
For a lighter meal, you truly do not need any sides with this dish. If you’d like to make them stretch, serve them with this Creamy Cucumber Salad or these Keto Dinner Rolls or Homemade Tortilla Chips.
💡 Tips
- Always pat your shrimp dry before cooking so they sear instead of steaming.
- Use raw shrimp for the best texture instead of pre-cooked.
- Slice the onion thin so it adds crunch without overwhelming the other ingredients.
- Let the chimichurri rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the flavors meld.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Veggies: Add grilled zucchini or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
- Yogurt: Swap sour cream with full-fat Greek yogurt if you prefer a tangier topping.
- Olives: Toss in olives for a briny bite that pairs well with chimichurri.
- Cheese: Add shredded cheese like Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or queso fresco for more richness.
- Bacon: Top with crisp bacon crumbles for a smoky twist.
- Greens: Layer in spinach or arugula under the cauliflower rice for extra greens.
Can I Make the Chimichurri Ahead of Time?
Yes, it can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
Why are My Shrimp Rubbery?
They were cooked too long. Shrimp only need a few minutes per side until opaque.
What Kind of Pan Works Best for Shrimp?
A cast iron skillet gives great sear, but nonstick is easiest for quick cooking.
How Do I Keep the Avocado From Browning?
Squeeze a little lime juice over sliced avocado to slow down browning.
Can I Double This Recipe?
Yes, but cook the shrimp in batches so they don’t crowd the pan.
How Do I Make this Dairy-free?
Skip the sour cream or replace it with a plant-based alternative.
