Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

    Prepare the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the sweet corn, diced bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

      Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill or a 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 the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, start with a base of quinoa or rice. Top with the grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and slices of avocado. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

            Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and healthy Grilled Shrimp Bowl, bursting with flavor and freshness!
