Ingredients

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Bowl Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • Extra lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to create a flavorful marinade for the shrimp.
  2. Marinate the shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade and let them soak up flavors for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more intense taste.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high to ensure it’s ready for cooking the shrimp with a nice char and sear.
  4. Grill the shrimp: Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are perfectly cooked.
  5. Prepare the bowls: In serving bowls, create a base with cooked rice or quinoa, then add halved cherry tomatoes and diced avocado for freshness and texture.
  6. Assemble and garnish: Top each bowl with the grilled shrimp, drizzle with any remaining marinade, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • For stronger flavor, marinate the shrimp for up to one hour before grilling.
  • Make sure the grill is sufficiently hot to achieve a good char and caramelization on the shrimp.
