Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa or rice

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen and thawed)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated. Let marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In another bowl, mix together the corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from skewers and set aside.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, place a serving of cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top with grilled shrimp, diced avocado, and the corn salsa. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce.

            Serve: Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy this vibrant, fresh, and healthy grilled shrimp bowl!
