Description

This Grilled Shrimp Bowl combines smoky shrimp, fresh corn salsa, creamy avocado, and a tangy yogurt-lime sauce for a meal that’s bright, balanced, and loaded with summer flavor. Easy to prep and even easier to love!


Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lime juice (for marinade)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or grilled)

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

1 large avocado, sliced or mashed

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 tablespoon lime juice (for sauce)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Water (as needed, for thinning sauce)


Instructions

1. Marinate the shrimp by mixing olive oil, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss shrimp to coat and marinate for 15–20 minutes.

2. In a bowl, mix corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Chill the salsa until serving.

3. Blend Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, chili flakes, and a splash of water to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

4. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.

5. Assemble the bowl: Start with corn salsa, top with grilled shrimp, avocado slices, and drizzle with creamy sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

Use metal skewers or soaked wooden ones if grilling outdoors for easier shrimp flipping.

For meal prep, keep components in separate containers to preserve freshness.

Adjust chili flakes in the sauce based on your preferred spice level.
