Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 avocado
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
While the shrimp cooks, prepare the avocado cream by blending avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
To assemble the bowls, place a scoop of rice at the bottom, followed by cooked shrimp, corn, and diced red bell pepper.
Drizzle the avocado cream over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Tip: Adjust the level of chipotle powder to control the spice level to your preference.

To customize your bowls, feel free to add your favorite toppings such as fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños for an extra kick. If you’re not a fan of shrimp, this marinade works great with chicken or even tofu for a vegetarian option.

For meal prep, store the shrimp and avocado cream separately to maintain freshness. The bowls can be enjoyed chilled or warmed, making them versatile for any occasion!
