Preparation
1
Cook rice

  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, add rice and corn, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
  • Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Zest lime, then cut into wedges.
  • To a small bowl, add sour cream and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside.
  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Enchilada Spice Blend.

3
Cook veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 3-5 min, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp. 
  • Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

4
Make red sauce and cook shrimp

  • To the same pan, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. 
  • Add tomato sauce base, flour and remaining Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, whisking constantly, until fragrant, 1 min.
  • Add shrimp, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. Bring to a boil over medium-high. 
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and shrimp is cooked through.**

5

  • Fluff rice with a fork.
  • To the large bowl with the veggies, Season with salt, then stir to combine.
  • Divide rice between bowls.
  • Top with shrimp and red sauce.
