Ingredients
4
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked (fresh or frozen)
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 lime, juiced
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
1
In a bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through.
3
While shrimp is grilling, prepare the corn salsa by combining diced avocado, corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl. Gently toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.
4
For the creamy sauce, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
5
Once the shrimp is done, assemble the bowls by placing a generous amount of corn salsa at the base and topping with grilled shrimp. Drizzle with creamy sauce.
6
Serve immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.

Pro Tips
Ensure shrimp are cooked just until opaque to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
Add jalapeño to the salsa for an extra kick.
Serve over a bed of rice or quinoa for a heartier meal.
Troubleshooting
If the shrimp is sticking to the grill, ensure it's well-oiled and the grill is preheated.
In case the salsa is too tangy, you can add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Recipe Variations
Substitute shrimp for grilled chicken or tofu.
Add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
Healthy Alternatives
Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
Use lime juice directly on shrimp instead of oil for a lower-calorie option.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with tortilla chips for added crunch.
Serve with a side of mixed greens topped with citrus vinaigrette.
