Ingredients

For the Grilled Sweet Potatoes

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tequila optional
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste

For the Bowls:

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice
  • 2 avocados peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 cups red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 2 fresno chiles sliced
  • 2 limes sliced into wedges
  • cilantro optional
  • sriracha for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

  • Place sweet potatoes in a pot and fill with water. Bring to a full boil and cook 5 to 8 minutes, until potatoes have softened but are not cooked through. Transfer potatoes to a cutting board and allow them to cool enough to handle. Once cool, slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.  Coat sweet potato slices with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.

Prepare the Shrimp:

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high. Add the ingredients for the shrimp to a sealable bag and shake well to combine. Allow shrimp to marinate while grill is heating. 

Grill the Sweet Potatoes and Shrimp

  • Once hot, place the sweet potato slices on the grill. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes per side, until deep char marks appear and sweet potatoes are cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool, chop the sweet potatoes to desired size peices.
  • Place shrimp on the hot grill and grill 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through.

Prepare the Bowls:

  • Divide rice between 3 to 4 bowls. Top with grilled shrimp and sweet potato, avocado, cabbage, tomatoes, and fresno chiles, lime wedges, and cilantro. Drizzle with sriracha if desired.
