01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for 10 minutes.
02 - Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto skewers; if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
03 - Grill shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink, opaque, and develop light char marks. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a bowl, gently mix diced avocado, corn kernels, quartered cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and salt until well combined.
