Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp by mixing olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss in the shrimp to coat and let marinate for 15–20 minutes.

  3. Mash ripe avocados with lime juice and salt until creamy but slightly chunky.
  4. Whisk together Greek yogurt (or mayo), lime juice, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt to create the creamy sauce.
  5. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through.
  6. Assemble your bowls by adding cooked rice or quinoa as the base and topping with corn salsa, avocado mash, grilled shrimp, and drizzling with creamy sauce.
