Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) shrimp, deveined and tail-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and lime juice. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix corn kernels, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste to make the corn salsa.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and smoked paprika to make the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers or place directly on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.

Notes
For best results, grill the shrimp just before serving. Prep the salsa and sauce ahead of time to save time during assembly. Use skewers for easier handling of shrimp on the grill.
