Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp

Start by marinating your shrimp in a simple chili-lime marinade. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.

• Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. If you have time, feel free to marinate the shrimp for longer to allow the flavors to really soak in.

Step 2: Prepare the Rice

While the shrimp is marinating, cook your rice. If you’re using a rice cooker, just follow the instructions on the bag. If you’re cooking it on the stovetop, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender.

For a low-carb option, you can swap out the rice for cauliflower rice. Simply sauté the cauliflower rice in a bit of olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

Once your shrimp is done marinating, it’s time to cook them. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the shrimp in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.

Step 4: Prepare the Toppings

While the shrimp is cooking, slice your avocado and halve the cherry tomatoes. If you’re using frozen corn, heat it up in the microwave or on the stovetop. Chop your fresh cilantro for garnish, and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls

Now it’s time to assemble your bowls! Start with a base of rice, then top with a generous portion of the chili lime shrimp. Add your toppings—avocado, corn, tomatoes, and cilantro. Finish it off with a squeeze of lime juice for that extra burst of flavor.
