Assemble

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

– Change Up the Grain- If you'd like, you can use quinoa, farro or cauliflower rice (for a low carb option) instead. – Make it into a Salad- Or if you'd like to skip the base, a great option is to double the slaw and omit the rice. – Switch out the Protein-  Cook and shred 1 pound of chicken breast (about 2), toss it with 2 tablespoon of Chimichurri (like in these Chimichurri sandwiches) and use it in place of the shrimp.
