Ingredients
200 grams shrimp (peeled, deveined)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup cooked rice (jasmine or basmati)
1 ripe avocado, sliced
1 ripe mango, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
¼ small red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (divided)
¼ cup Greek yogurt or mayo
1 tablespoon chili sauce or sriracha
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Dice the mango, tomato, and red onion, then toss with chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
3. Grill or sear shrimp on medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
4. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt or mayo with chili sauce, remaining lime juice, and a splash of olive oil. Stir until smooth.
5. To assemble, add rice to each bowl, top with grilled shrimp, avocado slices, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.
6. Drizzle with lime-chili sauce and garnish with extra cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
7. Serve immediately or store components separately for later.
Notes
Always use ripe mango and avocado for the best texture and flavor.
To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp and give them a quick sauté with the seasonings.
Make the lime-chili sauce ahead and store it in the fridge—it gets even better after chilling.
