Creating Shrimp and Avocado Bowls with Mango Salsa & Lime-Chili Sauce is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Salsa: In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Season the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.
4. Make the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, chili powder, honey (if using), and salt until smooth. Adjust the seasoning according to taste.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the diced avocado first, followed by the cooked shrimp and a generous scoop of mango salsa.
6. Drizzle with Sauce: Top each bowl with a drizzle of lime-chili sauce for that extra zing.
7. Garnish and Serve: Serve with lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnishing. Enjoy immediately!
