Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors combine.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place a generous scoop of cooked rice in each bowl. Top with grilled shrimp, slices of avocado, and a hearty spoonful of corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

            Garnish & Serve: Add lime wedges on the side and sprinkle additional cilantro over the top if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
