Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and optional cayenne, along with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice and add 1 pound of large shrimp. Coat the shrimp well and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Stir in the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5-10 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a bowl, combine 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans with 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of thawed frozen corn, 1/2 cup of chopped red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped red onion. Add in 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, drizzle with lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
- In a blender, combine 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Blend until creamy and set aside.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated shrimp onto the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- To assemble each Grilled Shrimp Bowl, divide the rice among bowls. Top with black beans, corn salsa, and grilled shrimp. Drizzle with avocado crema and add optional toppings if desired.
