2. While rice is cooking, combine shrimp, chili powder, paprika, cumin, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
3. Heat oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side.
4. Mix corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil together in a bowl to make corn salad.
5. Combine avocado, cilantro, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until dressing is smooth.
6. Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice, cooked shrimp, corn salad, black beans, and sliced avocado evenly. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with lime wedges.

Tips

Add more oil (or water) a little bit at a time to the dressing if you desire a smoother consistency. If prepping in advance, add sliced avocado and dressing just before serving.
