Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili powder

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)

½ cup red onion, finely diced

½ cup red bell pepper, finely diced

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Juice of 1 lime

1 garlic clove, minced

½ tsp chili powder

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
  3. Mash avocados in a small bowl with lime juice and salt to desired texture.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix corn, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. In another bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Assemble bowls: Spread mashed avocado, top with corn salsa, add shrimp, and drizzle with creamy sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra lime wedges or cilantro if desired.

Notes

Cook shrimp just until opaque to prevent toughness.

Avocado mash is best made fresh to avoid browning.

Adjust cayenne and jalapeño for desired spice level.

Can substitute shrimp with chicken, salmon, or tofu.

For meal prep, store components separately and assemble before eating.
