Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
  2. Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Gently stir to combine.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the creamy garlic sauce.
  5. To assemble the bowls, place a serving of cooked rice at the bottom, top with grilled shrimp, and add a generous scoop of avocado corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
