2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon lime zest

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Avocado Corn Salsa:

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or canned/frozen, thawed)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 medium red onion, finely chopped

1 small jalapeño, seeds removed and minced (optional)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

For the Creamy Sauce:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice

Lime wedges and additional cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

    Prepare Avocado Corn Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently mix until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Make the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp (if using skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or rice. Top with the grilled shrimp, then generously spoon over the avocado corn salsa. Drizzle with the creamy sauce for an extra touch.

            Garnish and Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful grilled shrimp bowls!
