Shrimp is often celebrated for its impressive nutritional benefits. It is low in calories yet high in protein, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet. Additionally, shrimp is packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, iodine, and selenium, which are essential for various bodily functions. When selecting shrimp for your bowl, it's crucial to prioritize sustainability. Look for labels indicating that the shrimp is sourced from responsible fisheries or aquaculture practices. This not only supports environmental health but also ensures you are consuming shrimp that is free from harmful chemicals and antibiotics.

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

Juice of 1 lime

For the Corn Salsa:

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving:

2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

Lime wedges for garnish

Extra cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the other components.

    Prepare the Corn Salsa: In another bowl, mix together the corn, red onion, avocado, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado. Set aside.

      Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

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

          Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, place a portion of cooked brown rice or quinoa as the base. Top it with the grilled shrimp and a generous serving of corn salsa. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top and garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired.

            Serve: Enjoy your Grilled Shrimp Bowls warm, with all their fresh flavors mingling beautifully on your plate!
