Instructions

  • Marinate & Grill the Shrimp:

    • In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and lime juice. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
    • Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until opaque and lightly charred.
  • Make the Avocado Corn Salsa:

    • In a bowl, mix corn, avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno (if using), lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently and let flavors blend while preparing other components.
  • Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise (if using), lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Assemble the Bowls:

    • Divide rice or greens among serving bowls. Top with grilled shrimp and avocado corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level of the salsa by adding or removing the jalapeno.
  • If you want a lower-carb option, use cauliflower rice or mixed greens as the base.
  • You can use either Greek yogurt or sour cream for the creamy sauce, depending on your preference.
