👩🍳 How to Make a High Protein Shrimp Street Corn Bowl
Step 1: Cook the Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice under cool water. Cook according to the package directions until tender and fluffy.
Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and divide it evenly between four bowls or meal-prep containers.
Step 2: Season the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place them in a bowl and add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, depending on their size, until they are opaque and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the heat immediately to help prevent overcooking.
Step 4: Prepare the Street Corn
Heat the corn in a skillet until warmed through and lightly golden.
Transfer the corn to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly.
Add the nonfat Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lime juice, feta cheese, chili powder, and salt.
Mix until creamy and well combined.
Step 5: Make the Cilantro Lime Sauce
Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, light mayonnaise, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Add 2–3 tablespoons of water gradually until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
Step 6: Build Your Protein Bowls
Divide the cooked rice among four bowls.
Top each bowl with an equal portion of the creamy street corn mixture and chipotle shrimp.
Drizzle with the cilantro lime sauce.
Step 7: Add Your Favorite Toppings
Finish with pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a squeeze of lime.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for meal prep.
