  • 1 cup cooked rice white, brown, or cauliflower rice
  • 1/2 cup black beans rinsed and drained

  • 1 small avocado diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the spices.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, layer the cooked rice as the base. Add black beans, corn, diced avocado, and cooked shrimp on top.
  4. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped red onion, cilantro, and shredded cheese (if using) over the top. Add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve the Fiesta Shrimp Bowl with lime wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty kick.
