If you’re dreaming of a vibrant, fresh, and flavor-packed dish that feels like summer in every bite, then these Shrimp and Avocado Bowls with Mango Salsa & Lime-Chili Sauce are exactly what you need.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, diced

  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

  • ¼ cup cucumber, diced

  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Salt to taste

For the Bowl Assembly

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice

  • 1 large avocado, sliced

  • 1 cup shredded romaine or lettuce mix

  • Extra lime wedges for serving

  • Optional: drizzle of olive oil or extra chili-lime sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat well and let sit for 10 minutes while you prep the salsa.

Step 2: Make the Mango Salsa
In a small bowl, mix diced mango, red onion, cucumber, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt to taste. Chill in the fridge while you cook the shrimp.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
Divide cooked rice between bowls. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, slices of avocado, spoonfuls of mango salsa, and the freshly cooked shrimp.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Drizzle with extra lime juice or a chili-lime dressing if desired. Top with cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp – It only takes a few minutes. Overcooking makes them rubbery.

  • Use fresh lime juice – It adds brightness and balances the heat.

  • Let the shrimp marinate briefly – 10 minutes is enough to infuse them with flavor.
