Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Allow marinating for at least 15-30 minutes.

    Prepare the Avocado Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together the diced avocado, corn, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir gently to combine and set aside.

      Make the Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto them.

          Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp directly on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

            Assemble the Bowls: Start by placing a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice into each bowl. Top with grilled shrimp, a generous scoop of avocado corn salsa, and drizzle with creamy sauce.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish off with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
