# Steps:

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Combine corn, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Scoop avocado flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky in texture.
04 -
Whisk together mayo or Greek yogurt, lime juice, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, cilantro, and salt until smooth. If needed, add a splash of water to reach desired consistency.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and lightly charred.

Start with a base of cooked rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice in each bowl. Arrange corn salsa, avocado mash, and grilled shrimp on top. Drizzle with creamy sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
