Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the salsa: Combine corn, diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Mix gently and set aside.
  3. Prepare the sauce: Whisk together Greek yogurt, adobo sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and honey until smooth.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls.
  6. Top the rice with the grilled shrimp.
  7. Spoon the avocado corn salsa over the shrimp.
  8. Drizzle generously with the creamy chipotle lime sauce.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the shrimp, salsa, and sauce separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the avocado fresh.
  • You can substitute the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise for a richer sauce texture.
  • If you do not have a grill, you can quickly sauté the shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat.
