Instructions

Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with chili powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the spices.
Heat the Olive Oil: Warm 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the shrimp.
Cook the Shrimp: Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they start to turn pink. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and opaque.
Prepare the Rice: Heat the cilantro lime rice according to package instructions or use a homemade version, then divide the rice evenly into 4 serving bowls.
Prepare the Toppings: Slice the avocados, shred the cheese, chop the cilantro, and drain and rinse the corn and black beans if canned to have all toppings ready.
Assemble the Burrito Bowls: Top each bowl of rice with cooked shrimp, corn, black beans, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese if desired, and garnish with chopped cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh shrimp for best flavor, but frozen, thawed shrimp work well too.
Adjust spice levels by reducing or increasing chili powder according to your heat preference.
Cilantro lime rice can be made ahead and reheated or store-bought rice can be used for convenience.
For a healthier twist, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
If avoiding dairy, omit the cheese and sour cream or use dairy-free alternatives.
