Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for salsa)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for rice)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges (for rice)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, chipotle powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the corn salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, red onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Prepare the spicy lime crema: Whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, and honey until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Cook the shrimp: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
  5. Prepare the cilantro lime rice: In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and the juice from one lime wedge. Toss to combine.
  6. Assemble the shrimp bowl: Divide the cilantro lime rice among serving bowls. Top with the grilled shrimp.
  7. Spoon the avocado corn salsa over the shrimp. Drizzle generously with the spicy lime crema. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.

Notes

  • For meal prep shrimp bowls, store the rice, shrimp, salsa, and crema in separate airtight containers. Assemble just before eating to keep the ingredients fresh.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the chipotle powder to 1/2 teaspoon.
  • You can substitute quinoa for rice for a higher protein base.
