📝Ingredients and Substitutions
🦐 Shrimp Ingredients
These are the key ingredients I use for my best seasoning for shrimp bowl recipes that never fail to provide the best balance of flavors.
- Large shrimp (peeled and deveined) - I like using large shrimp because it's faster to peel and cook. But use any size as long as it is uncooked shrimp.
- Smoked Paprika - Adds a savory and smoky flavor.
- Spices - Cumin for a Latin spice touch, Garlic Powder, Oregano, and Cayenne Pepper for that extra spice kick
- Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil or your preferred cooking oil
- Honey - to finish it with a touch of sweetness. Maple Syrup is a suitanle substitute.
