Ingredients

Scale

Spicy Shrimp

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Cilantro-Lime Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Bowl Toppings

  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for garnish

Chipotle Mayo

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tsp chipotle sauce (adjust for spice)
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

1. Marinate the Shrimp

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in this marinade to coat well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb all those flavors.

2. Prepare the Cilantro-Lime Rice

Rinse the rice, then combine it with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste.

3. Make the Corn Salsa

In a bowl, mix the corn, diced red onion, and diced tomato. Add a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt for a simple, refreshing salsa.

4. Cook the Shrimp

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they’re opaque and slightly charred.

5. Prepare the Chipotle Mayo

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and lime juice. Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce based on your spice preference.

6. Assemble the Burrito Bowl

Start with a base of cilantro-lime rice, then layer on the black beans, corn salsa, avocado slices, and grilled shrimp. Drizzle generously with chipotle mayo and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
