1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

For the Avocado and Corn Salsa:

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Make the Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the sweet corn, avocado, red onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix and set aside.

      Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand). Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and charred. Remove from the grill.

        Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, place a scoop of cooked quinoa or rice as the base. Top with grilled shrimp and a generous portion of avocado and corn salsa.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Grilled Shrimp Bowl!
