ummy Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado Corn Salsa & Creamy Sauce

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled & deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 ripe avocado diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper or red onion, diced

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the shrimp are well-coated. Allow marinating for about 15 minutes to soak in those delicious flavors.
  • Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Grill the Shrimp: Once heated, place the marinated shrimp on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking; you want them tender!
  • Make the Salsa: While the shrimp is grilling, prepare the avocado corn salsa. In a separate bowl, mix together the corn kernels, diced avocado, and red bell pepper. You can add a squeeze of lime juice for an extra tang!
  • Serve: Once the shrimp are done, arrange them in a bowl and top generously with the avocado corn salsa. Drizzle your favorite creamy sauce over the top and enjoy!

  • Top Tips for Perfecting Yummy Grilled Shrimp Bowl
  • Shrimp Size: Opt for larger shrimp (like jumbo or extra-large) for a more satisfying bite.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your vegetables are fresh for maximum flavor; ripe avocados and sweet corn make a world of difference!
  • Grilling Time: Keep an eye on the shrimp while they grill. They cook quickly and can easily become overcooked.
  • Flavor Boost: Experiment with ingredients to customize the bowl—add jalapeños for heat or lime zest for freshness!
  • Storing and Reheating Tips
  • If you have any leftovers (though I doubt you will), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to dig in again, reheat the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through—taking care not to overcook them again. Alternatively, the components can be served cold in a salad bowl style if you prefer a refreshing meal.
