Ingredients

For the Bowls:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1–2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (for serving)

For the Lime-Chili Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp honey or agave syrup
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 diced mango
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1–2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mango Salsa
In a bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and refrigerate to let the flavors blend.

Step 2: Make the Lime-Chili Sauce
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise (if using), chili powder, lime zest and juice, honey or agave, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and slightly charred.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
Spoon the cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Arrange the grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and mango salsa over the top.

Step 5: Add Sauce and Serve
Drizzle the lime-chili sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • For a spicier kick, double the jalapeño in the salsa or add a dash of hot sauce to the lime-chili dressing.
  • Make it dairy-free by omitting the yogurt and mayonnaise, or replacing with a dairy-free alternative.
