Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1–2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp:
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. - Make the Mango Salsa:
In a bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently to combine. - Assemble the Bowls:
Place a base of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Top with sliced avocado, cooked shrimp, and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For added creaminess, mix mayonnaise with lime juice and a dash of chili powder to create a lime-chili sauce.
- Customize your bowl with additional toppings like sliced radishes or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor and color.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a refreshing beverage like iced tea or coconut water.
