Instructions

  • Prepare the Shrimp:

    • In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in this mixture and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
    • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Set aside.

  • Assemble the Veggies:

    • While the shrimp are cooking, prep the veggies: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, and red onion. Shred the carrots and chop the cilantro.

  • Make the Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey (or agave), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  • Assemble the Bowl:

    • In each serving bowl, start with a base of your favorite greens (like mixed greens, spinach, or arugula).
    • Add a generous portion of shrimp on top.
    • Arrange the sliced veggies, corn, and avocado around the shrimp for a colorful look.
    • Drizzle the dressing over the top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Feel free to add extra toppings like sliced almonds, feta cheese, or a boiled egg for added protein.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño to the veggies.
  • This bowl can be customized with any veggies you have on hand, such as zucchini or kale.
