If you’re craving something fresh, bold, and easy to throw together, this Bang Bang Shrimp, Corn, and Avocado Bowl checks every box. It’s packed with juicy grilled shrimp, sweet corn, creamy avocado, and a drizzle of that irresistible spicy-sweet bang bang sauce.
This is the kind of meal that feels restaurant-worthy but comes together fast at home. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner for two, and it’s easy to scale up if you’re feeding a small family. You get heat, sweetness, creaminess, and crunch all in one bowl.
Helpful Tips
- Don’t overcook the shrimp. They only need about 2 minutes per side. As soon as they turn pink and opaque, pull them off the heat so they stay tender.
- Char the corn if you can. Grilling or air frying fresh corn adds a slightly smoky flavor that makes the bowl even better.
- Make extra sauce. That bang bang sauce is great drizzled over everything in the bowl, and you might want more for dipping.
