These healthy shrimp bowls are low in points but high in protein.

Shrimp is a great protein to use since it’s zero points and has 7 grams of protein per ounce.

A diet high in protein benefits you in so many ways. It helps to reduce your appetite and boost your metabolism.

The Ingredients

Shrimp: I bought a 10 ounce pack of frozen large shrimp from Kroger for only $5. It was peeled, deveined, and the tail was removed.

You can let it thaw overnight in the fridge or place the shrimp in a strainer and run cold water over it for 5 minutes.

Rice: I used white rice, but you can also use brown rice or cauliflower rice.

Black beans: These are high in fiber and plant based protein, among other things.

Corn: It has both soluble and insoluble fiber.

Grape tomatoes: Besides being a good source of fiber, they also have vitamins A and C, and lycopene.

Cilantro and red onions: Both helped to add an extra boost of flavor.

Seasonings: I used chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt to season the shrimp.

Lime: I added the juice from half a lime to add flavor to the shrimp.

Sriracha Mayo: For a tasty sauce I mixed together light mayonnaise and sriracha.

How to Make Healthy Shrimp Bowls

If you buy frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw it before you season and cook it.

To a small bowl, add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Stir together until blended.

Add the shrimp to a medium bowl, spray with cooking oil, add the seasonings, then stir together.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, spray with cooking oil, then add the shrimp in a single layer.

Let the shrimp cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. When you flip the shrimp add the lime juice.

Drain and rinse the black beans.

This recipe makes two shrimp bowls. Assemble them by adding 1/3 cup of rice, half of the shrimp, black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, cilantro, and red onion.

In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon sriracha. Stir to combine, then add half to each bowl.
