Smoky, spicy, and loaded with color, these bowls are the kind of weeknight dinner that looks like it took way more effort than it did. Large shrimp get coated in a bold blend of chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, where they develop a gorgeous pink-and-charred crust in just a few minutes. The base is cauliflower pulsed down to fluffy, golden-edged rice — no grains, no fillers, just real food that actually satisfies. A bright lime-dressed slaw of red cabbage and shredded carrots adds crunch and a little tang that cuts right through the heat, and creamy sliced avocado ties everything together. Every single component is built from whole, straightforward ingredients, so there's nothing hidden to worry about — no sneaky stalks, no processed sauces, no cross-contamination concerns from packaged mixes. The whole bowl comes together in stages that overlap neatly, so by the time the shrimp are done, everything else is already waiting. It's the kind of recipe you'll bookmark once and then just know by heart.

Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor in two batches until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 8–10 pulses per batch. Do not over-process — the pieces should resemble coarse grains, not a paste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with the chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, cayenne, and 1 tbsp lime juice. Toss until every shrimp is evenly coated, then set aside to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
