  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn, preferably fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Create the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Base: While the shrimp is marinating, cook the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
  4. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Start with a serving of the cooked brown rice or quinoa at the bottom.
  6. Layer the Goodness: Add the cooked shrimp on top, followed by cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.
  7. Final Touches: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the bowl and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For the best flavor, don’t skip the marination step! You can substitute lemon juice for lime if needed.
