Ingredients
For the Shrimp:
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
For the Mango Salsa:
- 1 mango, diced
- 1/4 red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
For the Lime-Chili Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the Bowls:
- 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced per serving
Instructions
- Season and Grill the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred for a smoky flavor.
- Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to blend the fresh flavors without bruising the mango pieces.
- Make the Lime-Chili Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning according to your preferred spice level.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into serving bowls. Top each with grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and spoonfuls of mango salsa. Drizzle the lime-chili sauce generously over the contents.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with extra cilantro leaves or lime wedges for added brightness and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
- Adjust the jalapeño according to your heat preference or omit it for a milder salsa.
- Use any variety of rice you prefer; jasmine or brown rice adds different textures and nutritional profiles.
- For a dairy-free version, replace mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
- Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
