Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the Shrimp:
  • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  • Grill the Shrimp:
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the shrimp onto skewers or place them directly on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Make the Avocado Corn Salsa:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make the Creamy Sauce:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Assemble the Bowl:
  • Divide the grilled shrimp between bowls. Top with the avocado corn salsa and drizzle the creamy sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Grill Tip: If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the shrimp on a stovetop grill pan or under a broiler.
  • Customization: Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers or cucumber to the salsa for more crunch.
  • Make it Spicy: Add some finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce to the salsa for a spicy kick.
