Ingredients
  

For the Grilled Shrimp:

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Juice of 1 lime

For the Avocado and Corn Salsa:

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or canned/drained)

1 ripe avocado, diced

½ red onion, finely chopped

1 medium tomato, diced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

2 cups cooked quinoa or rice

1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Whisk together until well mixed.

    Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.

      Make the Avocado and Corn Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the corn, diced avocado, red onion, diced tomato, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture, season with salt and pepper to taste, and gently fold the ingredients together. Set aside.

        Grill the Shrimp: Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Skewer the shrimp for easier grilling if preferred. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each bowl, place a base of quinoa or rice topped with baby spinach or mixed greens. Arrange the grilled shrimp over the greens and spoon the corn salsa on top.

            Serve: Garnish the bowls with lime wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful grilled shrimp bowl!
