  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in your shrimp until they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for about 15–20 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp marinates, grab another bowl to mix together your corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Scoop out your ripe avocados into a bowl. Add lime juice along with salt and pepper. Mash until creamy yet slightly chunky.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together mayo (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, hot sauce if using, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt.
  5. Heat up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill those marinated shrimp for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink.
  6. Start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top it with generous scoops of corn salsa and creamy avocado mash. Finally layer on those grilled shrimp before drizzling with the creamy sauce.
