Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp:

    In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

      Prepare the Corn Salsa:

        In a separate bowl, mix the corn, red onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and let the salsa sit while you prepare the shrimp.

          Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

            In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

              Grill the Shrimp:

                Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp or place them directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    In a serving bowl, start with a layer of cooked rice. Top with grilled shrimp, avocado slices, and a generous scoop of corn salsa. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        Serve the bowls with fresh lime wedges and extra cilantro on top. Enjoy your refreshing and flavorful Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
