Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the grill and set aside to keep warm.
- Make the Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if using), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine and chill in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until the sauce is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the Bowls: To serve, place cooked rice at the base of each bowl. Top with grilled shrimp and slices of avocado. Spoon a generous amount of the mango salsa over the top, then drizzle with the lime-chili sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
- You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less jalapeño or sriracha according to your preference.
- If you don’t have access to a grill, shrimp can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.
- For a lower calorie version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the lime-chili sauce.
- Use brown rice or quinoa as a healthier rice alternative.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
