Notes

For extra crunch, top the bowls with toasted pepitas, chopped nuts, or tortilla strips.
The shrimp can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
If you prefer, you can swap the shrimp for grilled chicken or tofu as an alternative protein.
To adjust the spice level, simply reduce or omit the jalapeño in the salsa or use mild chili powder.
