Method
 

Preparation
  1. Marinate Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently and set aside.
  3. Make Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce if desired. Blend until smooth and creamy; taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Grill Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and marked. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble Bowls: Divide the cooked rice between serving bowls, add grilled shrimp, vibrant corn salsa, and sliced avocado.
  6. Drizzle Sauce: Drizzle the creamy sauce over the assembled bowls and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
  7. Serve: Enjoy warm and encourage customization with lime juice or extra toppings.
