Ingredients

1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1 cup frozen corn, thawed

1/2 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)

1 lime, juiced

Salt to taste

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 avocado, sliced (or mashed)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasoning mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the thawed corn, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt. Mix gently and set aside.
  3. Heat a large cast iron grill pan over medium heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and slightly charred. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Divide the corn salsa evenly between two bowls. Top each with grilled shrimp and sliced (or mashed) avocado. Drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add red pepper flakes to the creamy garlic sauce.
  • For a grain-free option, omit rice or substitute with quinoa for extra protein.
  • Vegetarian? Swap shrimp with grilled portobello mushrooms for a plant-based version.
  • Add sautéed bell peppers, zucchini, or tomatoes for more texture and flavor.
