Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through.

          Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, place a generous scoop of the corn salsa at the bottom. Gently add the grilled shrimp on top, followed by diced avocado.

            Drizzle with Sauce: Finally, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top of the bowl. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

              Serve: Enjoy your Grilled Shrimp Bowl warm, combining all the layers for a delightful burst of flavors!
