Description

A flavorful and vibrant shrimp bowl topped with mango salsa and a zesty lime chili sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (for mango salsa)
  • Juice of 1/2 lime (for mango salsa)
  • Pinch of salt (for mango salsa)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 lime (for lime chili sauce)
  • 12 teaspoons chili sauce (like Sriracha)
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt until fully coated. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they’re pink, curled, and slightly charred. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Combine diced mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld—it gets better the longer it rests.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili sauce, and honey. Adjust the chili sauce to your spice preference. This creamy, tangy sauce ties the whole bowl together.
  4. Start with a bed of cooked rice or quinoa in each bowl. Layer on the shrimp, mango salsa, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Drizzle generously with the lime chili sauce and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili sauce in the lime chili sauce.
  • This dish can be served warm or cold, making it great for meal prep.
