Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 mango, peeled and diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 limes (one for juice, one for wedges)

1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 cup corn (fresh or canned)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly, and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

    Make the Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, adding salt to taste. Stir gently and set aside.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, place a portion of cooked brown rice or quinoa at the base. Top with the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, and mango salsa. If using, add a handful of corn on top.

          Drizzle the Lime-Chili Sauce: For an extra kick, squeeze lime juice over the bowls and drizzle with lime-chili sauce if desired.

            Serve: Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro. Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing Shrimp and Avocado Bowls!
