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
- ¼ 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:
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 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:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Creamy Sauce:
- 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:
- Start with a base of cooked rice, quinoa, or greens in a bowl.
- Top with the grilled shrimp and a generous spoonful of the avocado corn salsa.
- Drizzle the creamy sauce over the top.
- 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.
