Preparation
1
Cook rice

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic puree and rice. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

2
Prep

While the rice cooks, core, then cut bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Drain and rinse corn. Zest lime, then cut into wedges. Add sour cream and lime zest to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside. Drain and rinse shrimp, using a strainer, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Mexican Seasoning.

3
Cook veggies

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then bell peppers, poblano peppers, onions and half the corn (use all for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp, 3-5 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

4
Cook shrimp

Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 tbsp oil, then shrimp to the same pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 2-3 min.\*\* Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook shrimp in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch!)

5
Make sauce

Add 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the same pan. Sprinkle over flour, then add tomato sauce and remaining Mexican Seasoning. Cook, whisking constantly, until fragrant, 1 min. Add broth concentrate and 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring to a boil over medium-high. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low. Cook, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Remove pan from heat. Add shrimp, then toss to coat.

6
Finish and serve

Fluff the rice with a fork, then season with salt. Add the rice to the large bowl with veggies, then stir to combine. Divide rice between bowls. Top with the shrimp and drizzle over sauce. Dollop lime crema over top. Sprinkle with cilantro and squeeze over a lime wedge, if desired.
