To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and clean and chop your vegetables accordingly. You can choose from a variety of vegetables such as cauliflower, peppers, onions, asparagus, zucchini, and broccoli. Spread them out on a foil or parchment paper-lined sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

While your veggies are roasting, prepare your shrimp. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat with one tablespoon of olive oil. Season the shrimp with garlic salt and sauté them until they are cooked throughout. This should only take a few minutes, so be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

For the chipotle lime crema, start by pureeing a small can of adobo peppers in a mini food processor or blender until it’s smooth. In a small mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, sour cream, pureed peppers, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Whisk them together until they are combined and smooth.

To assemble your Chipotle Lime Shrimp Veggie Bowls, start with a bed of cooked brown rice, about one cup per person. Then add a generous helping of the roasted veggies and sautéed shrimp. Drizzle the chipotle lime crema over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This dish is perfect for meal prep, as it can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. You can also customize this recipe by swapping out the vegetables or adding more protein like chicken or tofu. So, the next time you’re looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give these Chipotle Lime Shrimp Veggie Bowls a try!
