Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the brown rice or quinoa 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 the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice or quinoa among four bowls. Top each with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and cooked shrimp.
- Finish each bowl with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the shrimp marinade.
- Substitute the shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
