Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade for the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

    Make the Avocado Corn Salsa: In another bowl, mix together the corn, diced avocado, red onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Gently toss to combine and set aside.

      Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque.

          Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with the grilled shrimp and a generous scoop of the avocado corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy sauce and garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro.

            Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and delicious Grilled Shrimp Bowl immediately while the shrimp are still warm!
