lazy shrimp burrito bowl

Something I’ve discovered during this quarantine season is, cooking every day is hard. Every day, I’ve become more and more lazy when it comes to cooking. I’ve been buying a lot of foods that can be cooked super quickly. For example, I discovered the wonders of precooked grain packets, as well as jarred and prepared salsa and guac. Namely, Fairway guacamole. I don’t know what they put in it, but it just tastes so so good. It might also be because I haven’t had real guacamole in too long. Whoops.

Anyways, since the only protein I have in those is frozen shrimp, salmon, and canned tuna, and I was craving chipotle, I decided to make a burrito-esque salad bowl. Basically, I seared some shrimp, chopped some veggies, added guac, rice and lentils, and salsa, and threw it all together. And surprisingly, it worked! So I decided to share it because I figured there are other lazy people in the world who could use this recipe.
