Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons chipotle powder

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 lime, juiced (plus extra for serving)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 red bell pepper, diced

½ cup red onion, finely chopped

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to this marinade and toss to coat well. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a dash of oil and sauté the diced red bell pepper and corn until slightly charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

To assemble the bowl, start with a base of quinoa, then layer on the sautéed corn and bell pepper, followed by the cooked shrimp.

Top the bowl with sliced avocado and chopped red onion. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
