Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak 4 of them in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes before using.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush lightly with oil.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and olive oil. Add the shrimp and stir to coat.
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, using 2 skewers for each set of shrimp so that they are easier to turn on the grill.
- Place the shrimp on the grill and sear until the shrimp are just cooked through, 1 ½ to 2 minutes per side. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle, remove them from the skewers and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
- To the shrimp, add the avocado, corn and lime juice. Stir to combine.
- Divide the shrimp between 4 small bowls or martini glasses. Serve.
