Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Dice the mango and avocado, ensuring the avocado remains slightly chunky to retain texture in the bowl.
- Cook Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Make Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the salsa gently to blend flavors without mashing the ingredients.
- Assemble Bowls: Layer the diced avocado at the bottom of each bowl, then add the cooked shrimp on top.
- Add Mango Salsa and Sauce: Spoon generous amounts of the mango salsa over each bowl. Drizzle with extra lime-chili juice if desired for added zest before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh shrimp if possible; if frozen, thaw completely before cooking.
- You can adjust chili powder and lime juice amounts to taste for varying spice and tanginess levels.
- This recipe can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any season.
- To make this gluten-free, ensure all spices and condiments used are certified gluten-free.
- Store any leftover salsa separately to keep the avocado from browning too quickly.
