Grain Bowl with Blackened Shrimp, Avocado, and Black Beans image

This blackened shrimp salad bowl is big and bold in flavor and makes for a low-calorie meal packed with shrimp, brown rice, corn, crisp bell pepper, black beans, and avocado. Easy to create with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen/pantry. If you prefer to serve burrito-style, just heat up some flour tortillas and wrap it all up. Either way, it's delish!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 ⅛ cups water
½ cup dirty rice mix (such as Zatarain's® Dirty Brown Rice)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 avocado
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (such as Chobani®)
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

Steps:

  • Combine water and dirty rice mix in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until water is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and set aside until needed.
  • While rice is cooking, combine shrimp, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Mix corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil together in a bowl to make corn salad.
  • Combine avocado, cilantro, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until dressing is smooth.
  • Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice, cooked shrimp, corn salad, black beans, and sliced avocado evenly. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with lime wedges.
