Method
 

Grilled Shrimp Bowl Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss large shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure shrimp is evenly coated.
  3. Thread the seasoned shrimp onto skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  4. Place the skewered shrimp on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from skewers and set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss gently to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. To assemble your bowl, start with a scoop of cooked rice, top with grilled shrimp, avocado corn salsa, and drizzle creamy garlic sauce over the top.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and flavors.
