  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 limes (one for zest, one for juice)
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 avocado, diced
– 1 cup mango, diced
– ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– ½ red onion, finely chopped
– Optional: lime wedges for serving


Instructions

Creating these Chili Lime Shrimp Bowls with Mango-Avocado Salsa is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

2. Cook the Rice: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the rice according to the package instructions. This will serve as the base for your bowls.

3. Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, avocado, mango, red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to mix.

4. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, spoon a generous portion of rice. Top each bowl with the cooked shrimp and spoon over the mango-avocado salsa.

6. Garnish: Optional: squeeze additional lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor. You can also add lime wedges on the side.

7. Serve Immediately: These bowls are best enjoyed fresh and warm, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering.
