INGREDIENTS:

For the Grilled Shrimp:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Avocado Corn Salsa:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (if frozen, thaw before using)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • ÂĽ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for a richer option)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Serving:

  • Cooked rice, quinoa, or greens (like spinach or arugula) as a base
  • Optional toppings: extra cilantro, lime wedges, or sliced jalapeños

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Grilled Shrimp:

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Make the Avocado Corn Salsa:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro.
  2. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Assemble the Bowls:

  1. Start with a base of cooked rice, quinoa, or greens in a bowl.
  2. Top with the grilled shrimp and a generous spoonful of the avocado corn salsa.
  3. Drizzle the creamy sauce over the top.
  4. Garnish with extra cilantro, lime wedges, or sliced jalapeños if desired.

TIPS AND VARIATIONS:

  • Add more veggies: Include roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
  • Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa or creamy sauce for a kick.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimp: Save time by using pre-cooked shrimp—just warm them up in a skillet with the spices.
  • Switch up the base: Swap rice or quinoa for cauliflower rice or mashed avocado for a low-carb option.
