Preparation

Preparation

1. Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Shrimp

In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the spices.

Cooking

3. Cook the Shrimp

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

4. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the diced red onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add the corn and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Assembly

5. Assemble the Bowl

In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice, sautéed vegetables, and shrimp. Top with sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Drizzle with fresh lime juice before serving.
