Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa (for base)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed)
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • For Creamy Garlic Sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Grill the shrimp: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Make the corn salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and lime juice. Gently mix.
  4. Prepare the creamy garlic sauce: Whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, and salt until smooth.
  5. Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the grilled shrimp.
  6. Add toppings: Spoon the avocado corn salsa over the shrimp. Drizzle generously with the creamy garlic sauce. Serve immediately for a flavorful shrimp bowl dinner.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the shrimp, salsa, and sauce separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the salsa fresh.
  • You can substitute the rice base with mixed salad greens for a lighter, low-carb shrimp and veggie bowl.
  • If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce to the creamy garlic mixture.
