Ingredients
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup corn kernels (grilled or sautéed)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice (divided)
1 avocado
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
1 tbsp chipotle sauce or sriracha
2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or chopped greens (for serving)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.
3. In a bowl, mix grilled corn, red onion, cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the salsa. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt.
5. For the sauce, stir together Greek yogurt or mayo with chipotle sauce or sriracha until smooth and creamy.
6. Assemble each bowl starting with rice or greens. Add grilled shrimp, corn salsa, mashed avocado, and drizzle with the creamy sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Notes
For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of chipotle or sriracha—taste as you go.
Prep your corn salsa and sauce a day ahead to make dinner assembly quick and easy.
If you’re using frozen shrimp, be sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry to get that ideal grill char.
