Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, chipotle chili powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp is marinating, cook the rice according to package instructions and prepare all the fresh toppings (cilantro, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper).
  3. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  4. To assemble the taco bowls, start with a scoop of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Layer on the black beans, corn, cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper.
  5. Top with sliced avocado and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and optional sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Notes

Feel free to customize your taco bowl with other toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced onions, or jalapeños.
For a spicier kick, add more chipotle chili powder or a splash of hot sauce.
This dish can easily be made in advance. Store components separately in the refrigerator and assemble when ready to eat.
If you're looking to cut calories, you can reduce the amount of avocado or omit the optional toppings.
