Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado

Ingredients
Shrimp:
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled + deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (or chili powder)
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• Salt + black pepper

Bowls:
• 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cilantro-lime rice if you want a little flair)
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1⁄2 cup corn (grilled or canned)
• 1⁄2 cup black beans, rinsed
• 1⁄4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro or parsley

Optional dressing ideas:
• Lime crema (sour cream + lime juice + pinch of salt)
• Spicy mayo (mayo + sriracha)

Instructions

1. Toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it hang out for 10–15 minutes.

2. Grill shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. They cook fast, so no wandering off.

3. Build your bowls: rice on the bottom, then avocado, tomatoes, corn, beans, and onion all in their cute little corners.

4. Add shrimp right in the center like the star they are.

5. Drizzle your chosen sauce over top and sprinkle cilantro to finish.
