Instructions
- Make the Mango Salsa – Combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let rest while prepping the rest.
- Marinate the Shrimp – Toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Cook the Shrimp – Sauté shrimp in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
- Dice Avocados – Just before serving, dice the avocados and toss with a little lime juice to prevent browning.
- Prepare Dressing (Optional) – Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Bowls – Layer rice or quinoa in bowls. Top with avocado, mango salsa, shrimp, and any desired toppings. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked rice or quinoa for a faster meal.
- Marinate shrimp for up to 30 minutes but no longer to prevent “cooking” in citrus.
- Adjust heat levels by controlling jalapeño and red pepper flakes.
