Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 avocado, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced chipotle in adobo, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the rice according to package instructions.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with black beans, corn, cooked shrimp, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more chipotle in adobo or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade.
