Instructions

In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using). Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the corn, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently mix and set aside.
Grill the shrimp over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper for the creamy garlic sauce.
To assemble the bowls, start by adding a layer of corn salsa to each bowl. Top with the grilled shrimp, add sliced or mashed avocado, drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

You can use frozen shrimp, just make sure to thaw it thoroughly before cooking.

Make the corn salsa and garlic sauce ahead of time but grill the shrimp fresh for the best flavor.

If you prefer more spice, increase the cayenne pepper or add extra jalapeños to the salsa.

This dish can be paired with rice, quinoa, or tortilla chips for a heartier meal.

To make the creamy garlic sauce dairy-free, swap in dairy-free mayo and sour cream.
