Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

0.5 teaspoon chili powder

0.25 teaspoon salt

0.5 lime, juiced

1 mango, diced

1 small tomato, diced

0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped

0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 small jalapeño, minced

1 lime, juiced

Salt to taste

0.25 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

0.5 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

1 garlic clove, minced

Pinch of smoked paprika

Salt to taste

2 cups cooked white rice

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Lime wedges for garnish

Instructions

1. Marinate the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, and spices. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.

2. Combine mango, tomato, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt for the salsa. Chill in the fridge.

3. Mix all ingredients for the lime-chili sauce until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill shrimp 2–3 minutes per side until cooked through.

5. Start assembling bowls: add rice, then shrimp, mango salsa, and avocado slices.

6. Drizzle with lime-chili sauce and garnish with lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Let the salsa rest in the fridge for at least 10–15 minutes to deepen its flavor.

Don’t overcook the shrimp—remove them from the grill as soon as they turn opaque.

Use firm, ripe avocados to keep the slices intact and creamy.
