A note about serious food allergies

Bring the beachy Baja life to your dinner table, with this delicious shrimp bowl. Those delicate crustaceans are cooked in sweet chili sauce, highlighting the best of their flavors. Feisty jalapeño, sweet corn, and crunchy tortilla all pile on the goodness, making every bite a beach party of its own. Surfs up!

How to get your best zest: use the small holes of the grater, and press into it until the colored skin comes off. Zest as little of the white beneath as possible: the white is called “pith,” and is quite bitter.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice, 11/2 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, 18-20 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in 1 tsp. lime zest (zest is made in a later step). Set aside.

    While rice cooks, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Zest lime and halve. Quarter one half and juice remaining half.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Stem jalapeño, halve, seed, remove ribs, and mince. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.
