Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 ½ cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ cup mayo or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp hot sauce (optional, to taste)
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in the shrimp until they are well-coated in this flavorful marinade. Let them sit for about 15–20 minutes.
  2. While your shrimp marinates, grab another bowl. Combine corn, diced red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Give it a good mix and pop it in the fridge.
  3. Scoop out two ripe avocados into a bowl. Add lime juice along with salt and pepper. Mash it all together until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together mayo (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt. Adjust thickness with a splash of water if needed.
  5. Heat up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add your marinated shrimp. Grill for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and have lovely char marks.
  6. Start by adding cooked rice or quinoa into your bowl as a base. Layer on the corn salsa next followed by that creamy avocado mash. Top it off with your grilled shrimp and drizzle generously with that delicious creamy sauce you made earlier.
