Ingredients
Scale
1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
2 ripe avocados
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 cup mayo or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp hot sauce (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt to taste
Cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in the large shrimp until well coated. Let them marinate for 15–20 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the corn with diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare other components.
Scoop out the ripe avocados into a medium bowl. Add lime juice along with salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayo (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt. Adjust thickness by adding a splash of water if necessary.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill each marinated shrimp for about 2–3 minutes per side until they are pink and lightly charred.
Start by adding a generous portion of cooked rice or quinoa at the base of each serving bowl. Top it off with corn salsa followed by avocado mash. Finally, place grilled shrimp on top and drizzle generously with creamy sauce. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
