Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp, toss to coat, and let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

    Prepare the Corn Salsa: In another bowl, mix the corn, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well and set aside for flavors to meld.

      Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers or grill them directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is opaque and cooked through.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, add a base of cooked rice. Top with grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and sliced avocado. Drizzle with creamy garlic sauce.

            Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy your refreshing Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado, Corn Salsa & Creamy Garlic Sauce!
