Let’s gather what we need! Here’s a list of ingredients for our Chipotle Lime Shrimp Bowls:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed is best!)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, chopped

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
- 1 avocado, sliced

Feel free to adjust the spice level according to your taste! If you’re not a fan of spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chipotle.
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chipotle, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- In each bowl, add rice and top with shrimp, black beans, corn, avocado, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Notes
- Adjust the chipotle for desired spice level.
