1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup corn (grilled or sautéed)
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
Pinch of salt
½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
Salt to taste
1–2 tablespoons water to thin (if needed)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add shrimp, toss to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, combine corn, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, and salt. Mix gently.
4. In a small bowl, mash avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Keep slightly chunky.
5. In a blender or using a whisk, blend yogurt, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Add a splash of water to thin if needed.
6. To assemble, layer corn salsa as a base, add grilled shrimp, spoon on avocado mash, and drizzle generously with creamy sauce. Garnish with extra lime or cilantro if desired.
Notes
For extra depth, grill your corn on the cob before cutting off the kernels.
Use ripe avocados with a slight give for the best mash consistency.
To keep the creamy sauce smooth, let it sit for 5–10 minutes after blending to allow flavors to meld.
