<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFajita Bowls are so much fun to eat. All the flavors of fajitas served over rice instead of in a tortilla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And this recipe is ready in about 30 minutes, which includes cooking the brown rice. Just get the rice going, then chop your veggies and start cooking. Everything should finish up about the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Fastest Way to Cook Brown Rice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I know some of you are thinking there is no way brown rice can be ready in under 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While steaming brown rice takes 40-50 minutes you can easily shave 20 minutes if you know the trick. Instead of steaming, cook it like pasta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by boiling about 4-5 times as much water as rice (1 cup rice, 4-5 cups water). Pour in the rice, stir and simmer for 25-30 minutes. When the rice is tender to your liking, drain off the remaining water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steaming can sometimes leave the rice unevenly cooked with mushy on the bottom and crunchy on the top. But, this method surrounds each grain in boiling water resulting in evenly cooked, fluffy brown rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Type of Shrimp to Use for Shrimp Fajita Bowls?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I would recommend either tail on or peeled shrimp for this. The size is up to you. Medium (41-50) or large (31-40) would work well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you go with small, they will cook faster, so watch the timing so they do not become rubbery.<\/p>\n\n\n
