Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and mix well to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other components.

    Make the Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the marinated shrimp (if using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand), and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of cooked rice in each serving bowl. Top with grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and a generous scoop of corn salsa. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce and sprinkle with extra cilantro for garnish.

            Serve: Serve the grilled shrimp bowls with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delicious and colorful meal!
