My favorite recipes have a way of making people linger at the table, and Orzo Shrimp Bowl with Avocado Crema encourages exactly that.

Instructions
- Who doesn’t love a bowl!! I certainly do. They’re super easy to put together and you can add whatever you feel like as far as vegetables. The star of this bowl is actually the avocado crema which I happened to stumble upon due to lack of sour cream 🙈, so how can I substitute!! I thought labneh and Greek yogurt how can I go wrong and voila my crema was born ☺️ I hope you get to try it enjoy.
- Prepare your crema first and let it chill, I recommend using 2 tablespoons of water to thin out the crema.
- Use an aluminum chef frying pan it’s the best, I started by flash roasting my vegetable separately, and the residue from each layer gave flavor to the next.
- I grilled the shrimp last in the same pan and the charred residue from the roasted vegetables added extra flavor to the shrimp.
