Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced (or 1 tsp chipotle powder))
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 clove garlic (minced (optional))
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option)

Instructions
- Step 1- Marinate the Shrimp
Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, minced chipotle peppers (or chipotle powder), minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add Shrimp: Toss the shrimp in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. - Step 2– Cook the Shrimp
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sauté Shrimp: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become tough. - Step 3- Prepare the Base and Toppings
Cook Base: Prepare your base of choice (rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice) according to package instructions if not pre-cooked.
Prep Toppings: Slice the avocado, rinse black beans, and prepare additional toppings. - Step 4- Assemble the Chipotle Lime Shrimp Bowls
Layer Ingredients: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
Add Shrimp and Toppings: Top each bowl with shrimp, avocado slices, black beans, corn, salsa, and any other toppings.
Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and add extra lime wedges for squeezing on top.
