Instructions

Season the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the shrimp are evenly coated with the spices.
Cook the shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat once cooked through.
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with cooked shrimp, black beans, corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, finely diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Finish and serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the contents of each bowl. Add optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, or hot sauce based on your preference. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Notes

For extra flavor, use cilantro-lime rice instead of plain rice or add a drizzle of chipotle crema on top.
You can substitute quinoa for rice for a different grain option.
For variation, replace shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu to customize the protein source.
