Instructions:

Marinate the Shrimp: 

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the marinade to coat evenly, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.

Prepare the Cilantro-Lime Rice: 

Rinse rice, then combine with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and cook until tender (about 15 minutes). Fluff with a fork, then stir in lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt.

Make the Corn Salsa: 

In a bowl, mix corn, diced red onion, and diced tomato. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice.

Cook the Shrimp: 

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.

Prepare the Chipotle Mayo: 

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust the spice level to taste.

Assemble the Bowl: 

Start with a base of cilantro-lime rice, layer with black beans, corn salsa, avocado slices, and spicy shrimp. Drizzle with chipotle mayo and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

This bowl is packed with layers of flavor—from creamy avocado to spicy shrimp and tangy chipotle mayo, making it a vibrant and delicious meal! 💥
