• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

Cilantro lime rice

1 cup dry jasmine or basmati rice, rinsed

1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro leaves

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)

1 tsp kosher salt

Sheet pan shrimp

2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced

1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced

3 tbsp avocado oil (separated)

5 tsp taco seasoning (separated)

1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined (thawed if frozen)

1 ripe avocado, pitted & mashed, for serving (I like to mash with salt, garlic powder, lime juice, & finely chopped cilantro)

4 lime wedges, for serving

fresh chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Prepare the rice by bringing 1 cup of salted water to a boil in a small sauce pan. Once boiling, add the rinsed rice, stir, reduce heat to medium low, and cover. Let simmer until the water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes, then remove from heat and mix in the cilantro, lime juice, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, red onion, 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, and 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Use tongs or a rubber spatula to mix well and coat the vegetables in the oil and spices. Transfer to the sheet pan and spread out in one single layer, then bake to soften, 15 to 18 minutes.

While the peppers and onions bake, rinse and remove the tails from the shrimp and add to the mixing bowl. Toss with the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil and 3 teaspoons of taco seasoning.

Push the peppers and onions to one side, clearing half of the sheet pan. Add the shrimp and disperse evenly in the opening, without overlapping any pieces. Return to the oven and bake until the shrimp are opaque and at an internal temperature of 145F, 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve immediately for best results in low bowls with even servings of cilantro lime rice, peppers, onions, and shrimp. Top with mashed avocado, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
