Chilli-Lime Shrimp Fiesta Bowls

A vibrant, taco-inspired dinner featuring deliciously spiced shrimp paired with sweet corn and colorful bell peppers, all cooked in the air fryer for a quick and healthy meal.

Ingredients

  • 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 lime (zested and juiced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups corn, frozen or fresh
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 300g baby potatoes, halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  3. 3

    While potatoes are cooking, in another bowl, combine shrimp, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, lime zest, lime juice, and remaining olive oil. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.

  4. 4

    After 10 minutes of cooking the potatoes, add the shrimp to the basket with the potatoes and cook for 6 minutes, shaking once halfway through.

  5. 5

    For the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the corn and bell peppers to the air fryer, mixing gently to combine with the shrimp and potatoes.

  6. 6

    Once cooking time is up, let the shrimp rest for 2 minutes while you prepare to serve.

  7. 7

    Plate the baby potatoes, corn, bell peppers, and shrimp. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced avocado if desired, and serve with lime wedges.
