Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, vegetable oil, salt, smoked paprika, and barbecue sauce. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through and slightly charred.
- While the shrimp are grilling, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the avocado salad, cook the corn on the grill until slightly charred, then cut the kernels off the cob.
- In a large bowl, combine diced avocados, grilled corn, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and queso fresco. Gently toss to mix.
- To assemble the bowls, place fluffed couscous at the bottom, top with the grilled shrimp, avocado salad, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with spicy mayo.
- Serve the bowls garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level of the mayo by adding more or less sriracha. This dish can also be served cold for a refreshing summer meal.
