Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 1/2 cups corn (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 to 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. In a separate bowl, prepare the corn salsa by mixing corn, diced red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3. Mash the avocados in a bowl with a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but slightly chunky.

4. In another small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt to create the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.

6. Assemble the bowls by adding rice or quinoa as the base. Top with corn salsa, avocado mash, and grilled shrimp.

7. Drizzle generously with the creamy sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

Swap shrimp for grilled chicken or tofu if desired.

Adjust spice levels by adding hot sauce or extra chili powder.

This bowl is great for meal prep; store components separately for best texture.

Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor.
