Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, pepper, and lime juice. Toss well to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for 15-20 minutes.

    Prepare Corn Salsa: In another bowl, mix the corn, diced tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.

      Make Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust the garlic to taste if desired. Refrigerate until ready to use.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.

          Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, start with a base of cooked rice. Top with grilled shrimp, a generous scoop of corn salsa, slices of avocado, and a drizzle of creamy garlic sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an added zing. Enjoy your colorful and flavorful grilled shrimp bowl!
