Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add large or jumbo shrimp, tossing until fully coated. Allow to marinate for 15–20 minutes at room temperature.
In a separate bowl, mix together sweet corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze more lime juice, sprinkle with salt, and stir until combined. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
Scoop avocado into a bowl; add fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth yet slightly chunky, then set aside.
Preheat your grill over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Place marinated shrimp on the grill, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until opaque; be careful not to overcook.
Combine mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk until smooth, adjusting with water if needed.
Layer your base in a bowl, add corn salsa, avocado mash, and top with grilled shrimp. Drizzle with creamy sauce.
