Description

A fresh and flavorful grilled shrimp bowl topped with creamy avocado, zesty corn salsa, and a rich garlic sauce—perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (divided)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with lime juice, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using until evenly coated.

2. In a separate bowl, combine thawed corn, diced red onion, half of the chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make the corn salsa. Mix well and set aside.

3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from heat.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining cilantro, minced garlic, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper to make the creamy garlic sauce.

5. Assemble the bowls by layering corn salsa, grilled shrimp, and avocado slices. Drizzle generously with creamy garlic sauce and serve immediately.


Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp for 10–15 minutes before grilling.

You can serve this bowl over rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.

Adjust cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
