Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Main Ingredients

  • 200g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or mixed greens

Mango Salsa

  • 1 mango (diced)
  • 1/4 red onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 small jalapeño (seeded and minced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Lime-Chili Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (divided, 1/4 teaspoon for shrimp, 1/4 teaspoon for sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Mango Salsa: Dice the mango, finely chop the red onion, and mince the seeded jalapeño. Combine these with chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon of lime juice in a bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and develop a slight char. Remove from heat.
  3. Make Lime-Chili Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon honey, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili powder until smooth and well combined.
  4. Assemble Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a base of cooked rice or fresh mixed greens. Arrange the seared shrimp and sliced avocado on top, then spoon over the mango salsa.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the lime-chili sauce evenly over the assembled bowls. Garnish with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of chili flakes for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Always use ripe mango and avocado for the best flavor and smooth texture.
  • Sear shrimp quickly on high heat to maintain juiciness and avoid overcooking.
  • Store lime-chili sauce and mango salsa separately if preparing ahead to preserve freshness and texture.
