Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or chili powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, brown, or cauliflower rice)
- 1 to 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp Sriracha or hot chili sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave
- Pinch of garlic powder and salt
Instructions
- Season the shrimp: In a mixing bowl, drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cook the shrimp: Sear the seasoned shrimp in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they are beautifully charred and cooked through.
- Prepare the mango salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Make the lime-chili sauce: In another bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or yogurt, Sriracha, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the bowl: Start with a base of cooked rice in a bowl, layer the cooked shrimp, and complement with sliced avocados and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Drizzle your lime-chili sauce over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the mango salsa and lime-chili sauce a few hours in advance for better flavor. Cooking Alternatives: Use an air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes for crisp shrimp.
