Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
- 1 jalapeño, diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime

- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 avocados, sliced

Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Corn Salsa: In another bowl, combine corn, jalapeño, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. Stir well and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Whisk together Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high. Skewer the shrimp (if desired) and grill them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of rice or quinoa (if using), top with grilled shrimp, avocado slices, fresh corn salsa, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.
Notes
For added flavor, soak wood skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling. Substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu as desired.
