  • Total Time: 21 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen if out of season)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (optional for spice)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Mixed greens or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove from grill and set aside.
  3. Prepare the corn salsa by combining corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  4. In each bowl, place a bed of greens or rice. Top with sliced avocado, then arrange grilled shrimp over it. Spoon generous amounts of corn salsa on top, garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For best flavor, marinate the shrimp at least 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Serve immediately for optimal freshness, especially the avocado.
  • Leftovers can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Prior to serving, assemble the bowls to keep ingredients fresh and maintain textures.
