  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup of fresh mango, diced
  • ½ cup of red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ cup of red onion, finely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: shredded coconut or chopped nuts for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice over and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in this mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Slice avocados and lightly squeeze lime or lemon juice over to prevent browning.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering sliced avocado, then topping with cooked shrimp and mango salsa. Garnish with cilantro, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
  • Prepare ingredients ahead of time and store separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • For extra crunch, add sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or shredded lettuce.
  • For a spicy kick, drizzle hot sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper before serving.
