Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade for Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine fresh corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In another bowl, mix together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

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

          Prepare Avocado: In a small bowl, toss the diced avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt to prevent browning.

            Assemble the Bowls: Start by adding a base of cooked rice or quinoa to each bowl. Top with grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and diced avocado. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

              Garnish and Serve: Add lime wedges and extra cilantro on the side for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful grilled shrimp bowl!
