Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

        Make the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base. Top with diced avocados, halved cherry tomatoes, and the cooked shrimp.

            Finish with Salsa and Sauce: Spoon a generous amount of mango salsa over the bowls and drizzle with lime-chili sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

              Serve Immediately: Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful shrimp and avocado bowls while fresh!
