Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Avocado oil
  • 1 tsp (5g) Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5g) Ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Cracked black pepper
  • 2 cups (300g) Sweet corn, fresh or frozen
  • 2 large (400g) Ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Red onion, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup (15g) Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Mayonnaise
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced into a paste
  • 1 tsp Lime zest
  • 4 cups (600g) Cooked Jasmine rice

Instructions:

  1. Place your 1.5 lbs of peeled and deveined shrimp into a large bowl. Toss them with 2 tbsp of avocado oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper. Mix until every shrimp is coated in a vibrant red spice paste.
  2. Heat a dry skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 cups of sweet corn and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the kernels begin to pop and show dark brown charred spots. Note: This brings out the natural sugars without needing extra fat.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the charred corn with 2 large diced avocados, 1/2 cup minced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1 seeded, minced jalapeño. Pour in 3 tbsp fresh lime juice and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado chunks.
  4. In a small ramekin, stir together 1/2 cup full fat Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp lime zest. Whisk until the mixture is glossy and completely smooth.
  5. Return the skillet to high heat with a tiny splash of oil. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes on the first side until a dark crust forms.
  6. Flip the shrimp and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and the edges curl into a C shape. Note: If they curl into an O, they are overcooked.
  7. Divide 4 cups of cooked Jasmine rice into four bowls. Top each with a generous portion of the avocado corn salsa and the sizzling grilled shrimp. Drizzle the lime sauce over the top in a zigzag pattern.
