Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp:

    - In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

      Prepare the Corn Salsa:

        - In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, diced avocado, chopped red onion, diced tomato, and jalapeño (if using). Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and season with salt. Gently fold everything together and set aside.

          Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

            - In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

              Grill the Shrimp:

                - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp (if using skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before use). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    - In each serving bowl, place a generous portion of cooked rice. Top with grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and a drizzle of creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime wedges if desired.

                      Serve:

                        - Enjoy your Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado, Corn Salsa, and Creamy Garlic Sauce while fresh and warm!
