preview for The Sauce In These Old Bay Shrimp Burritos Is Life-Changing

You won't find these burritos on the Chipotle menu. In this recipe, we stuffed flour tortillas full of rice, black beans, shredded cheddar, lettuce, pico de gallo, and avocado, alongside the stars of the show: a shrimp filling and a homemade Old Bay aioli. Well-seasoned shrimp is cooked alongside bell peppers and onion, before being added to the burrito with all our fillings. Of course, this burrito wouldn't be complete without the saucy Old Bay aioli. With a kick from Sriracha, this Old Bay-seasoned aioli adds heaps of flavor in every single bite, that's why we not only add it into the burrito but serve it alongside.

If you're looking for the best way to shake up your burrito game in under an hour, turn to these loaded shrimp burritos for a weeknight dinner to impress.
