Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with chipotle powder, fresh lime juice, and a drizzle of honey. Allow this mixture to stand while you gather your cooking equipment.
  2. Let the seasoned shrimp marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. While the shrimp is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your rice according to package instructions.
  4. Heat a high-heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil and arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
  5. In serving bowls, layer your Chipotle Lime Shrimp Bowl starting with a generous scoop of rice, then add the shrimp and vibrant vegetables.
  6. Slice an avocado and place it atop each serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime before serving.
