Grilled Shrimp Taco Bowls

March 15, 2019 by Matt Robinson Leave a Comment

Grilled Shrimp Taco Bowl ~ Calling all carb-curbing eaters, this one is especially going to be your jam. For the rest of us who carb load where we can, grab the tortilla chips and crush some on the top because the additional crunch makes this next level.

That is unless you are my boys who mowed down the shrimp and avocado, and then just moved around the rest of the bowl to look like they ate more than they actually did. In all fairness to them, they really objected to the pickled onions that I tossed throughout. I’m learning that pickled anything outside of pickles is definitely an adult thing —  an acquired taste.

Naturally like any good father, I had them sit at the table until Naomi was done. Once that last shred of green hit her lips, they jumped out of their chairs and shouted, “In and Out double-double, puh-lease.” As if they even needed to, I already had the keys eyeballed and one leg swung out from under the table.

I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have starved, but they know how to play to my sympathies.

That aside, outside of my two boys who aren’t even old enough or weigh enough to sit shotgun—this is a legit meal as was my second dinner with boys at In and Out.

Yield: Serves 4
