Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon water (to thin)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Grill the shrimp: Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  3. Make the creamy garlic sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, water, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Prepare the salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Toss lightly.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top the rice with the grilled shrimp.
  6. Add toppings: Spoon the avocado slices and the corn salsa mixture over the shrimp in each bowl.
  7. Finish the dish: Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the assembled shrimp bowl ingredients. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the sauce, shrimp, and salsa components separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the avocado fresh.
  • If you prefer a smoky flavor, use chipotle powder instead of smoked paprika in the shrimp marinade.
  • You can substitute the rice with quinoa for an extra protein boost.
