It starts with sautéed shrimp, an array of colorful vegetables, and your favorite long grain rice.

In the past, I’ve swapped out the shrimp for chicken and it was equally as delicious! It really depends on what type of protein I have on hand at the time. Sometimes I just use peppers, while other times I’ve added corn and black beans. That’s why I love this recipe, it’s so versatile. When my husband makes this 30-Minute Shrimp Taco Rice Skillet for himself, because he can finish an entire skillet, he adds lots of chilies and jalapeños!
