Ingredients

Scale

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked rice
1 avocado, sliced
1 mango, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

Begin by rinsing your shrimp under cold water to ensure they are fresh and clean. Pat them dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder. Toss in the shrimp and let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the shrimp to soak up all those wonderful flavors!

Step 2: Make the Mango Salsa

While the shrimp is marinating, it’s time to whip up the mango salsa. Dice ripe mangoes, red onion, and jalapeño. In a mixing bowl, combine these ingredients with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. Stir gently to combine and let the flavors meld. This salsa will add a sweet and spicy touch to your Shrimp and Avocado Bowls.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. The irresistible aroma will surely get your taste buds excited!

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls

Now comes the fun part—assembling your bowls! In each bowl, start with a generous scoop of cooked rice or quinoa as the base. Layer on slices of creamy avocado and top with the cooked shrimp. Spoon over the mango salsa for that tropical twist. Drizzle with the lime chili sauce to tie all the flavors together in this delicious harmony.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Finish your beautiful Shrimp and Avocado Bowls with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a slice of lime on the side. Serve immediately while everything is fresh and vibrant. Each bite will be a delightful explosion of flavors—sweet, zesty, and utterly satisfying.
