½ small red onion, diced

1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium black beans, drained

½ cup Greek yogurt

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, combine shrimp,chili powder, garlic powder and salt.

2. Heat olive oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat and add coated shrimp. Cook until warmed through and flesh is white, about 2-3 minutes. *If using fresh corn kernels, add with the shrimp to heat.

3. Using shrimp, corn, rice, avocado, onion and black beans, assemble each serving in a separate bowl.
