  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
