Preparation Steps

• Begin by dicing the fresh mango into small cubes and finely chopping the red onion. Mince the jalapeño, ensuring to remove the seeds if you prefer a milder heat. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mango, red onion, jalapeño, and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then toss gently until everything is well combined. Set this vibrant salsa aside to let the flavors meld.
• Take the peeled and deveined shrimp and place them in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with chili powder, salt, and pepper, coating them evenly for maximum flavor. The spices should cling nicely to the shrimp, which will enhance their taste as they cook.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer, allowing them to sizzle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp rest briefly.
• While the shrimp is cooking, prepare your serving bowls by placing a generous portion of cooked rice or quinoa at the bottom. Ensure your base is evenly divided among the bowls for a satisfying portion.
• Begin assembling the Zesty Shrimp & Avocado Bowls by arranging slices or cubes of avocado on top of the rice or quinoa. Next, add the succulent shrimp, placing them attractively. Finally, generously spoon the mango salsa over the shrimp and avocado.
• To finish, garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of flavor and color. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
