Weight watchers shrimp bowls
Ingredients:
For the Shrimp:
- 1 pound frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Cooking spray
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning
For the Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice (for a lower-carb option)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, etc.)
- 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1/4 cup diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:
- Prepare Shrimp:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the frozen shrimp in a bowl and coat them with cooking spray. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer.
- Air fry the shrimp for about 5 minutes or until they are pink, opaque, and cooked through. Shake the basket or turn them halfway through for even cooking.
- Prepare Rice and Vegetables:
- While the shrimp is cooking, prepare your rice according to package instructions. If using cauliflower rice, sauté it in a pan with a bit of olive oil until tender.
- In a separate pan, sauté the mixed vegetables until they are cooked but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Bowls:
- Divide the cooked rice or cauliflower rice among serving bowls.
- Top with sautéed vegetables, fresh spinach or mixed greens, and the air-fried shrimp.
- Drizzle each bowl with a bit of olive oil and add diced avocado.
- Serve:
- Squeeze fresh lemon wedges over the bowls for a burst of citrus flavor.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro
