Smoky Paprika Shrimp & Rice Bowls
with Bell Pepper, Onion & Lemon-Cilantro Crema
- Milk
- Shellfish
Smoky paprika-seasoned shrimp are seared alongside caramelized bell pepper and onion, then served over fluffy white rice. A bright lemon-cilantro crema, thinned to a drizzleable consistency with a splash of water, ties the bowl together with a cool, tangy finish. Extra lemon wedges on the side let you add as much citrus brightness as you like.

Cooking Steps
In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. (TIP: For perfect timing, start cooking shrimp and veggies when rice has 10 minutes left!)
Wash and dry produce.
Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Quarter lemon. Mince cilantro.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cilantro, and juice from two lemon wedges (four wedges for 4 servings). Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat very dry with paper towels.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, onion, and bell pepper in a single layer; season with salt and pepper. Add paprika, garlic powder, and oregano; stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are browned and shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork. Divide between shallow bowls. Top with shrimp and veggies. Drizzle with crema and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
