Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for the sauce)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly and marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced avocado, corn kernels, chopped red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with lime juice and mix gently.
- In a small bowl, mix together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), minced garlic, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to prepare the creamy garlic sauce.
- To assemble, start with a base of cooked rice or quinoa, top with grilled shrimp, corn salsa, and drizzle with creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or sliced lime.
Notes
- Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- If using frozen shrimp, ensure to thaw them completely and pat dry before marinating.
- Add bell peppers, cilantro, or jalapeños to the corn salsa for extra flavor.
- You can prepare the corn salsa and creamy garlic sauce a day ahead, grilling the shrimp before serving for freshness.
