👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Mango Salsa

In a small bowl, combine mango, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and lime juice.
Season with a pinch of salt and mix well. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

2. Prepare the Shrimp

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper, then cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

3. Whisk the Lime-Chili Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili flakes, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Taste and adjust—add more lime for tang, or more honey if you like it sweeter.

4. Assemble the Bowls

Spoon rice or quinoa into each bowl as the base.
Top with cooked shrimp, fresh avocado slices, and mango salsa.
Drizzle generously with lime-chili sauce.

5. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the bowls.
Serve with lime wedges for an extra squeeze of freshness.
