Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and start layering with 0.5 cup of cooked rice, 0.25 cup of black beans, a few pieces of cooked shrimp, 0.25 cup of shredded lettuce, 0.25 cup of diced tomatoes, 0.25 cup of shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Sprinkle some chopped cilantro over the fillings for added freshness.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, forming a burrito.
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Cut each burrito in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
