Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice level)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1 cup corn (canned or frozen)

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Optional: Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Cook the Rice: While the shrimp is marinating, cook your choice of rice according to the package instructions. Keep warm.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a generous scoop of rice, followed by the blackened shrimp. Top with cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, corn, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

          Finish with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top of each bowl to add a burst of flavor.

            Optional Toppings: If desired, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
