Blackened Shrimp Avocado Burrito Bowls are the perfect way to ring in the New Year with big bold flavor and a healthy meal! These are packed with blackened shrimp, brown rice, corn, black beans, and avocado. They are also great for meal prep!
Happy New Year! We just got back from Disneyworld with our family. We surprised them on Christmas morning and left that day. We had an absolute blast. It was probably the best family trip that we have taken. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom resort and WOW! That was such an amazing experience. We would wake up each morning to giraffes and zebras outside of our room. My three year old would say good morning and good night to the animals every day. We spent the week in all of the parks in Disneyworld and ended the week at Universal Studios. What a fun way to ring in the New Year as a family!
Now we are back here in Utah and it is so cold and dreary! It is hard coming home to reality sometimes. My husband has a man cold so I am bracing myself for a long week. ? Although it was hard to come home I look forward to the New Year and making realistic goals. I get so tired of the holiday eating and treats that I love to start the year with fresh and healthy meals.
I am a huge meal prepper and spend every week meal prepping. With life as busy at is it I need to have meals ready at a moments notice to help me keep my healthy lifestyle on track.
The great thing about eating healthy is that you don’t have to sacrifice on taste or flavor, and these burrito bowls are a great example of that. The blackened shrimp is bursting with flavor and spices and is such a great addition to the burrito bowl.
Are burrito bowls healthy?
Yes they are! Blackened shrimp, corn, black beans, brown rice, and avocoado all come together to create this low calorie filling meal.
This meal comes together easily and I love to use it for meal prep. It has everything that you need to keep you on track for the New Year. And it is so good and packed with so much flavor, it makes it easy to stay on track all year long.
I drizzled this with some Greek Yogurt Avocado Ranch Dressing. Holy cow that was the perfect finishing touch to these burrito bowls. Although it is delicious without it, it gave it a bit more flavor and was the perfect topping. You guys are going to love these burrito bowls! They are such a fantastic and flavorful way to start your New Year off right!

Ingredient list is fine, cooking instructions are nonsense “Cook over medium high heat until no longer pink.” <– did you even read the title of your own recipe?
This was a hit for me & my husband! We don’t agree much on what to eat for dinner. He’s a super picky eater & I prefer healthier options. The only change we made was making it spicier by adding red chili flakes and sliced jalapeños. This recipe can be used for chicken or shrimp too. It’s cheap to make and uses a lot of staple ingredients. This recipe is a win & delicious!
I can’t wait to try this for my meal prep 🙂 Do you know the suggested serving size for this meal?
Absolutely delish
Thank u so so much
Good morning! Quick question…are the nutrition facts a total for all 5 servings or per serving? Also, this looks delicious 🙂
Those should be per serving. It’s so delicious! I hope that you love it!
Wow! This is absolutely amazing! Whole concept and combination of flavours are so delicious. I made this for my lunch to work and omg! You must make this. Filling and healthy. Love it
This was AMAZING. I cooked this for my parents and now they’re convinced I can actually cook haha. Thanks for the recipe!
Blackened shrimp, yum. Question, is there another dressing that would be good? Certain people in this family are not cilantro lovers.Thanks, Conni
This looks amazing!!! Where did you get your bowls from? How wide are they?
You are so sweet! I got the bowls from Crate and Barrel or Sur La Table. I love them. They are about 8 inches.
Looks wonderful! I just need to find the best spices to be able to make this a bit more sodium restriction friendly.
I made this for dinner tonight. So yummy! I love that all the ingredients are healthy too. I’ll be making this again soon. I think it’s the perfect dish for spring and summer.
That is great to hear! I am so glad that you loved it! Great for spring and summer time! Thanks for sharing! XOXO
