Creating Blackened Shrimp Bowls is both simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect dish:
1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions using water or broth for added flavor. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with the blackening seasoning, ensuring an even coat.
3. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned shrimp to the pan.
