Creating the Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado, Corn Salsa & Creamy Garlic Sauce is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the corn, diced red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In another bowl, combine the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and well blended.
4. Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque.
5. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of Bibb lettuce or your choice of greens. Add a generous portion of the grilled shrimp, followed by the corn salsa.
6. Add Avocado: Top each bowl with diced avocado for a creamy texture.
7. Drizzle with Sauce: Finally, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the entire bowl for that added punch of flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh off the grill!
