½ small red onion, diced
1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium black beans, drained

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.
