– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 ripe avocados, diced
– 1 cup mango, diced
– 1 small red onion, finely chopped
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1 lime, juiced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
To ensure you achieve the best results, follow these straightforward steps to prepare your Shrimp and Avocado Bowls:
1. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Make the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Season with salt to taste and mix well.
4. Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
5. Prepare the Avocados: Dice the avocados and season lightly with a pinch of salt and the juice of half a lime to prevent browning.
6. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked shrimp, followed by mango salsa, and finished with diced avocado.
7. Drizzle with Sauce: Generously drizzle the lime-chili sauce over the assembled bowls.
8. Garnish as Desired: Add additional cilantro or lime wedges for garnish if you desire.
These steps will ensure your Shrimp and Avocado Bowls with Mango Salsa & Lime-Chili Sauce are perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor!
