Instructions
 

Prepare the Grilled Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together the corn, red onion, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning). Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat.

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

            Garnish and Serve: Serve with lime wedges and additional cilantro leaves for garnish. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
