Chipotle Shrimp Burrito Bowl have layer upon layer of flavor with a kick of spice.  Forget the take out and have this great healthy gluten free recipe at home in 30 minutes.

Chipotle Shrimp Burrito Bowl Recipe Gluten Free | ahealthylifeforme.com Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and you got to spend some time relaxing.  Saturday was beautiful here and rained all day Sunday.  The garden needed a bit of water to help with my newly planted seedlings, so I wasn’t too disappointed.  Plus it gave me an excuse to spend time on the couch reading.

I have been doing a lot of recipe development with shrimp lately.  Shrimp is one of the easiest seafood to cook with, not to mentioned it takes no time at all to cook.  These Chipotle Shrimp Burrito Bowls, are gluten free and packed with tons of  spice and flavor.  If you are not big on spice only use 3 chipotle peppers in your sauce.

Do you like your foods extra spicy or with just a bit of zing?

    I love that shrimp cooks up so quickly, too – makes it a doable option for absolutely any time. My spicy factor changes with my mood…sometimes I want it to blow my socks off, sometimes I just want a pleasant underlying heat. These chipotle shrimp burrito bowls sound like just my kind of meal!

      I hope you try the recipe Heather, you can back off on the chipotle when you want it a bit more mild.

    I think that broccoli pesto would be great on so many foods but with shrimp, it looks and sounds fantastic! I love cooking with shrimp because it cooks up so quickly. This recipe sounds like a great one for lunch or dinner.

    Holy moly this sounds heavenly! I am not into the spicy food SO much, but I love me anything chipotle and/or burrito. This would be a great compromise for me and my husband!

      I am with you Vicki, my husband likes thing over the top hot, and I am a mild girl. This will definitely be a compromise.
