Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade and Grilling
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Avocado Corn Salsa
- 2 avocados, diced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Blissful Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Base
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough for cooking shrimp quickly and evenly.
- Season Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the shrimp with the spices.
- Grill Shrimp: Place the seasoned shrimp on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Prepare Avocado Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, gently combine the diced avocados, cooked corn, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Toss carefully to maintain the texture of the avocado.
- Make Blissful Sauce: In another bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. This sauce will add a tangy richness to the dish.
- Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of 1 cup cooked rice per serving. Top with grilled shrimp, followed by a generous portion of avocado corn salsa. Drizzle the bowl with the creamy blissful sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
- To cook the corn, fresh, canned, or frozen corn can be used based on availability. Ensure it’s cooked and cooled before mixing into the salsa.
- If grilling outdoors is not an option, shrimp can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or broiled in the oven for similar results.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the shrimp marinade or salsa.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but best enjoyed fresh.
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier or low-carb alternative.
