Juicy shrimp are seasoned and sautéed to perfection, then served over fluffy rice with creamy avocado, sweet mango salsa, and a zesty lime-chili drizzle for a tropical-inspired meal that’s light yet satisfying.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice (or cauliflower rice for low-carb)
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Salt to taste

For the Lime-Chili Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the mango salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Toss well and set aside.
  4. Make the lime-chili sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, zest, honey, chili powder, cayenne, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. Assemble bowls: Add rice to each bowl, then top with shrimp, sliced avocado, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.
  6. Drizzle the lime-chili sauce over the top and garnish with cilantro and extra lime wedges.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy fresh!

Notes

  • Use brown rice, quinoa, or mixed greens as a base for variety.
  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan mayo or skip the sauce entirely.
  • Grill the shrimp for a smoky flavor.
  • Mango salsa can be made up to 1 day ahead and kept refrigerated.
