How to Make Grilled Shrimp Bowl (Overview)

Making this bowl is as easy as pie! First, you’ve got to fire up the grill and get it sizzling. While that’s happening, prepare your colorful medley of veggies and the tasty avocado salsa. Once your shrimp soak up that olive oil goodness, toss them on the grill. You’ll grill until they turn that perfect pink (about 2-3 minutes each side).

How to Serve Grilled Shrimp Bowl

For a bit of visual pizzazz, arrange your grilled shrimp on a bed of vibrant veggies. The bright green avocado, golden corn, and colorful bell peppers make for a feast for the eyes. A sprinkle of fresh cilantro adds a pop of freshness that just can’t be beat. Consider serving it with a wedge of lime on the side for an extra zesty twist that will make those flavors sing.

How to Store Grilled Shrimp Bowl

This bowl keeps well in the fridge for about 2-3 days — just store the shrimp and veggies separately to keep everything fresh. If you’re prepping a few bowls ahead of time, the components can chill in the fridge, and then you can grill the shrimp just before serving. No one likes soggy shrimp, right?

Tips to Make Grilled Shrimp Bowl
