Raise your hand if you’re a fan of Chipotle’s Burrito Bowls or Chili’s Chipotle Shrimp Bowls? ????

My husband is obsessed but lately, he’s been trying to dabble into more low carb and keto meals. He’s doing really well and has cut back a lot on the tex mex rice bowls he used to order.

And if you’re following a paleo or low carb diet, making your own healthy fresh shrimp bowls at home couldn’t be easier.

This Low Carb Chipotle Lime Shrimp Bowl is fresh, flavorful and simple to customize.

It comes together in about 30 minutes so it’s also great for busy weeknights.

3. Chop the peppers and onions then saute them until they are tender and cooked through.

5. Serve over cauliflower rice with avocado

This recipe would also work great for meal prep. Just divide into lunchbox containers and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can even switch up the vegetables or serve it alongside zucchini noodles or broccoli rice instead.
