Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined provides lean protein, can be swapped for grilled chicken or tofu
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or use avocado oil if preferred
  • 1 juice lime adds a zesty kick, lemon juice can also work
  • Salt and Pepper to taste, essential for enhancing flavors
For the Corn Salsa
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen) offers sweetness and texture – black beans can substitute
  • 1 medium avocado, diced adds creaminess and healthy fats, or switch it up with diced mango
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped adds sharpness, but shallots can be milder
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved brings juiciness and acidity, or try diced bell peppers
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional), feel free to omit if you're not a fan
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt creates a creamy garlic sauce, substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan options
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced enhances overall flavor, or use garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by placing 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp in a medium bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the juice of 1 lime, then season with salt and pepper. Toss the shrimp until evenly coated and allow them to marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp marinates, prepare the corn salsa. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of corn kernels, ½ cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 diced avocado, and 1 small finely chopped red onion. Squeeze in some lime juice, and add salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir the ingredients together.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a little water until desired consistency.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once ready, add the marinated shrimp, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
  5. In serving bowls, layer a scoop of corn salsa at the bottom, followed by the grilled shrimp. Drizzle your garlic yogurt sauce generously over the shrimp.
  6. For a final touch, sprinkle fresh cilantro over each bowl and serve immediately.
