Instructions

Cook the Rice:

Cook white rice according to package instructions. Set aside and keep warm.

Season the Shrimp:

In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with paprika, salt, garlic powder, and oregano.

Sauté the Shrimp:

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned shrimp and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway, until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.

Make the Avocado Crema:

In a food processor, blend together avocado, coconut yogurt, jalapeño, lime juice, and garlic until smooth. Add a bit of water or olive oil to reach your desired consistency.

Assemble the Bowls or Tacos:

In each meal prep container, add a portion of rice with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of parsley. Pack tortillas separately (to keep them from getting soggy). When ready to eat, layer tortillas with shredded lettuce, shrimp, and a generous spoonful of avocado crema.
