Mediterranean Shrimp and Black Bean Bowl with Avocado Drizzle

1.In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well coated.

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

3.In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

4.In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base. Top with black beans, cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

5.Drizzle the avocado sauce generously over the top of each bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
