Ingredient List and Health Benefits:
Jumbo Shrimp: I purchase jumbo shrimp from Trader Joe’s that is frozen and already cooked. Shrimp is a great source of lean protein.
Bell Peppers: High in vitamins and minerals, these are one of my favorite veggies.
Quinoa: A complete vegetarian protein that’s also high in fiber, several minerals and antioxidants. It also adds great texture to this recipe. I love the tricolor quinoa from Trader Joe’s.
Avocado: One of my favorite healthy fats, avocado is jam packed with nutrients. It’s high in vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin B5 and B6 and vitamin E.
Chili Lime Mayo: One of my favorite new items from Trader Joe’s, it’s the perfect sauce.
Pico de Gallo: Available in mild and hot, I prefer the hot version for a little extra spice
