Grain Bowl with Blackened Shrimp, Avocado, and Black Beans image

This blackened shrimp salad bowl is big and bold in flavor and makes for a low-calorie meal packed with shrimp, brown rice, corn, crisp bell pepper, black beans, and avocado. Easy to create with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen/pantry. If you prefer to serve burrito-style, just heat up some flour tortillas and wrap it all up. Either way, it's delish!

1 ⅛ cups water
½ cup dirty rice mix (such as Zatarain's® Dirty Brown Rice)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

Steps:

Combine water and dirty rice mix in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until water is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and set aside until needed.
While rice is cooking, combine shrimp, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
Heat oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side.
Mix corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil together in a bowl to make corn salad.
Combine avocado, cilantro, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until dressing is smooth.
Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice, cooked shrimp, corn salad, black beans, and sliced avocado evenly. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with lime wedges.

CARIBBEAN JERK SHRIMP

Caribbean Jerk Shrimp image

This is a quick and simple recipe that is as appropriate for a tailgate party as it is to serve your boss or in-laws. Serve as a finger food with or without cocktail sauce. Or for a sit down dinner, serve over greens with an Asian style dressing, or with a stir fry of veggies prepared the same as the shrimp in a separate skillet or wok and cooked about 10 minutes on slightly lower heat.

Yield 1 pound, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 lb jumbo shrimp
caribbean jerk seasoning, McCormick
1/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

I use 1 pound jumbo shrimp, precooked frozen, peeled and deveined, tails can be either on or off.
The most important thing to remember with this recipe is to completely thaw the precooked, frozen shrimp in a colander. When most of the water drains off, pat dry the shrimp as much as possible with paper towels. (Or start with fresh, peeled, deveined shrimp, precooked. A lot of grocers will steam them at no extra charge.).
Turn your burner on medium high (almost high) and set your large non stick skillet or wok over the burner. When skillet begins to get really hot, but NOT smoking, quickly add the melted butter and shrimp.
Sprinkle on the Caribbean Jerk Seasoning to taste. It's hot and spicy so be careful if you don't like the heat.
Keep the shrimp moving in the pan, glazing the shrimp with the hot butter and spices.
Cook just until hot and slightly browned. (only about 3 minutes or even less depending on the heat of your skillet).
You can also make these in the broiler or on the grill after tossing the shrimp in melted butter, sprinkling on Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and spreading them on a broiler pan or open grill. Broil for only 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.

JIVIN JERK SHRIMP SALAD

Jivin Jerk Shrimp Salad image

For World Tour 3, The Jivin Jelly Rollers have come up with a fantastic salad recipe. We have paired spicy Jerk seasoned grilled shrimp with sweet pineaple and black beans and topped it off with a cool coconut lime dressing. This salad will knock your socks off and have you dancing to the Carribean beat in no time. This recipe uses http://www.recipezaar.com/95953 for the Jerk Seasoning. Note: you may substitute Light Coconut milk or use this substitution if you can't find coconut milk. 1 cup low-fat milk + 1/4 tsp coconut extract = 1 cup light coconut milk. Also we think this salad would also be great with chicken instead of shrimp.
