Hawaiian Shrimp Taco Bowl Ingredients

I’ll never say no to a good shrimp recipe, and this is one you’ll want to add to your weekly rotation because it’s that good.

  • Jasmine rice – an essential part of making this taco bowl! Any Jasmine rice will do, but if you’d like to shop my favorite rice, you can find it here.
  • Jumbo shrimp – I love using jumbo shrimp because the bigger the better, but besides that, they are super sweet! The shrimp also provide a hearty bite of protein in your bowl.
  • Spices and herbs – You will need garlic cloves, chili powder, and cilantro.
  • Sauces – Essential for (great) flavor, you will need a bit of Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, and honey!

You can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Questions You Might Have About This Recipe

Are Shrimp Healthy?

Aside from the obvious protein benefit, shrimp are packed with antioxidants, vitamin D, B3, and are also a great low-carb food.

Can I Flavor The Shrimp Another Way?

Sure! Give these Blackened Shrimp a try.

How To Peel Shrimp?

Grab a shrimp, remove the legs, use your thumbs to crack the shell open, and pull off the shell.

Are these Taco Bowls Spicy?

Not at all! If you’re looking for some heat, you can add some jalapeรฑo peppers to the bowl.

Ingredient Substitutions

One of my favorite things about bowl recipes, is the ability to customize the ingredients!

  • Chicken instead of shrimp
  • Brown rice instead of Jasmine rice
  • Lettuce instead of cabbage

However, if you are looking for sides or swaps to your bowl, you can use, black beans, cheese, or tomatoes.

Looking to go the extra mile and really step it up? You could add sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

    Very good. Next time we will add twice the amount of shrimp per serving to boost the protein count. We also increased the cabbage to 50g per serving. Loved the colors and the mix of flavors! Our prep time (2 of us) was quite long using all fresh ingredients. Thank you!
