Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prepare the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together corn, diced red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside to let flavors meld.

      Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or rice. Top with grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and slices of avocado. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with lime wedges and additional cilantro. Enjoy your flavorful and colorful Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
