Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Cook jasmine or basmati rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done and keep warm.
  4. Slice cherry tomatoes in half, dice cucumber, thinly slice red onion, and chop herbs. Slice avocado last to prevent browning.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread shrimp onto skewers or place directly on grill grates. Grill 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.
  7. Divide cooked rice between bowls. Arrange spinach or mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion on top. Place grilled shrimp over veggies. Add sliced avocado if using.
  8. Drizzle creamy dressing over each bowl just before serving. Garnish with extra herbs or a wedge of lime if desired.

Notes

Do not over-marinate shrimp to avoid mushy texture. Use skewers or a grill pan to prevent shrimp from falling through grates. Prep veggies and dressing ahead to save time. Add avocado and shrimp last for freshness. Adjust chili powder for desired heat level.
