Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Lime-Chili Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Bowls

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced (per serving)

Instructions

  1. Grill the Shrimp: Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and develop slight charring.
  2. Make the Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced ripe mango, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño (if you prefer some heat), chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to mix all the flavors together, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until you achieve a smooth and creamy sauce with balanced spicy and tangy notes.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Begin by placing a bed of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top the rice with the grilled shrimp, followed by sliced avocado. Spoon generous amounts of mango salsa over the bowl, then drizzle with the lime-chili sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves or lime wedges if desired for added freshness and a pop of color.

Notes

  • The jalapeño in the mango salsa is optional and can be omitted for a milder dish.
  • You can use any type of cooked rice you prefer, such as white jasmine, brown, or basmati rice.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute mayonnaise with a vegan or dairy-free mayo alternative.
  • Make sure not to overcook the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Leftover mango salsa keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
