Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle toasted pepitas, chopped nuts, or tortilla strips over the bowls.
Shrimp can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
If you prefer, substitute the shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
To adjust spice levels, reduce or omit the jalapeño in the salsa or use mild chili powder.
