Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the 1 cup salsa into the same skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until it thickens slightly and darkens in color, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the salsa. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 2 cups rice and 1 can black beans together in a microwave or saucepan until hot, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the spicy shrimp over the rice and beans, with the 2 cups tortilla chips on the side for scooping.
