Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Large Shrimp: Opt for fresh or frozen shrimp; deveined and peeled makes cooking easier.

• Avocado: Choose ripe avocados for creamy texture and rich flavor.

• Corn: Fresh corn off the cob adds sweetness; frozen corn works too if fresh isn’t available.

• Cilantro: Fresh cilantro enhances the dish with its bright, herbal notes.

• Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice brightens flavors and balances richness in the bowl.

• Creamy Sauce: A blend of sour cream, mayo, and spices creates a luscious topping.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare the Shrimp: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Toss the shrimp in olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for flavor.

Grill the Shrimp: Grill shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Keep an eye on them; overcooked shrimp can be rubbery.

Make the Corn Salsa: In a bowl, combine fresh corn, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. This salsa adds freshness to your bowl!

Create the Creamy Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste it – you might want to eat it straight from the bowl!

Assemble Your Bowl: In a serving bowl or plate, layer grilled shrimp with corn salsa. Drizzle generously with creamy sauce over everything to create an irresistible experience.

Savor Every Bite!: Dig in while it’s still warm! Enjoy the contrast of textures – crunchy salsa against tender shrimp – as you revel in this delicious creation.

Now you’re armed with all you need for an unforgettable Grilled Shrimp Bowl with Avocado, Corn Salsa & Creamy Sauce! Enjoy every mouthful as you share this culinary delight with family or friends!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

To create the ideal grilled shrimp bowl, start by marinating your shrimp while preparing the corn salsa. Grill the shrimp last to keep them juicy and flavorful.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out shrimp for chicken or tofu based on your preference. You can also add extra spices to the creamy sauce for a kick of heat.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, gently warm the shrimp and corn salsa in a skillet over medium heat.

Sometimes I think about that summer barbecue when my friends devoured this dish in seconds. Their smiles were priceless, and it felt great to share something so delightful!
