Ingredients

Scale

For the shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the mango-avocado salsa:

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt to taste

For the bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower)
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage or lettuce
  • Lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp: In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes while preparing the salsa.
  2. Prepare the mango-avocado salsa: Combine mango, avocado, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Gently stir and set aside.
  3. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice between 4 bowls. Top with shredded cabbage, cooked shrimp, and a generous scoop of mango-avocado salsa. Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Add a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
  • This recipe also works well with grilled shrimp or shrimp cooked in an air fryer.
