Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated to ensure maximum flavor during cooking.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Make the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño if using, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let flavors meld.
- Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy for a tangy and spicy dressing.
- Assemble the Bowls: In your serving bowls, layer the cooked rice first, then top with the sautéed shrimp, sliced avocado, and spoonfuls of the mango salsa. Finish by drizzling the lime-chili sauce over the top.
- Serve and Enjoy: These bowls are ready to serve immediately. Enjoy the balance of spicy, sweet, creamy, and fresh flavors in every bite.
Notes
- You can omit jalapeño from the mango salsa if you prefer less heat.
- Use cooked rice of your choice, white, brown, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
- For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp for 10 minutes before cooking.
- The lime-chili sauce can be adjusted for spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha.
- Make sure not to overcook shrimp to keep them juicy and tender.
