Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Add a little spice to your week with these easy & flavorful bang bang shrimp bowls! We don’t do a ton of seafood often but I’m going to have to start stocking up on shrimp because we loved these so much. One thing I love about shrimp is it cooks SO quickly AND it’s easy to keep on hand because you can keep it in the freezer.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
- Shrimp
- Rice
- Coleslaw blend (or shredded carrots / cabbage)
- Blackened seasoning
