Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 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 sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first). Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For the creamy garlic sauce, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
- To assemble the bowls, place a serving of cooked rice at the bottom, top with grilled shrimp, avocado, and corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the shrimp in the olive oil and spices for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option. You can also add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
