Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mango Salsa
- 1 large mango, diced
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice (divided)
Lime-Chili Sauce
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayo
- 1 tbsp chili sauce or sriracha
- 1 tbsp lime juice (remaining from the 2 tbsp total)
Other Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 cups cooked rice
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: Toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Let it marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors thoroughly.
- Prepare Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix diced mango, chopped tomatoes, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Chill the salsa in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
- Grill the Shrimp: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn opaque, are cooked through, and have a slight char for added smokiness.
- Make the Lime-Chili Sauce: Combine Greek yogurt or mayo with the remaining lime juice and chili sauce or sriracha in a bowl. Mix until smooth and adjust the spice level to your liking.
- Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice first. Arrange grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and mango salsa on top. Drizzle generously with the lime-chili sauce and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute grilled shrimp with pan-seared shrimp if a grill is not available.
- For a spicier kick, add extra chili sauce or some freshly chopped jalapeños to the salsa.
- Leftover bowls can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; add avocado fresh before serving to prevent browning.
- Use brown rice or cauliflower rice as a healthier alternative to white rice.
