Ingredients

Units Scale

For the grilled shrimp:

  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika (sweet or hot)
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (optional)
  • 1 pound shell-on shrimp (21 to 25 count), thawed if frozen, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (I used avocado oil)
  • High heat oil such as canola or grapeseed for brushing grill grates

For the spicy cilantro dressing:

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup neutral flavored oil (I used avocado oil)
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves and stems, packed
  • 1 jalapeño, stem removed
  • Salt, to taste

For the bowls:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups shredded romaine

  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced

To serve:

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño, to serve
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, to serve

Instructions

  1. Combine the spices and shrimp: In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika through chipotle powder. In a larger bowl, toss shrimp with oil and then add the spices. Stir until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  2. Prep the grill: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for 15 to 20 minutes to high heat. Make sure it reads at least 500°F on a thermometer.
  3. Make the dressing: Blend all dressing ingredients except salt until creamy. Add salt to taste.
  4. Season the black beans: Toss black beans with oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Grill the shrimp: Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 3-5 minutes per side until opaque.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide rice between bowls and top with beans, corn, tomatoes, radishes, romaine, avocado, and shrimp. Serve with lime wedges, chopped jalapeño, and cilantro.
