Instructions

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes.
While the shrimp marinates, prepare the lime crema by whisking together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Chill until ready to use.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion.
Place the cooked shrimp on top, drizzle with the lime crema, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For extra spice, add more chipotle peppers or a few dashes of hot sauce to the shrimp marinade.

To make the recipe low-carb, substitute the rice with cauliflower rice.

Customize the bowl with additional veggies such as bell peppers or shredded lettuce.

For added crunch, top with crushed tortilla chips or roasted pumpkin seeds.
