- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Mango Salsa
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Dice the mango and avocado carefully, keeping the avocado pieces slightly chunky to maintain texture in the bowls.
- Cook Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Make Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Gently stir to mix all ingredients well without mashing the fruit.
- Assemble Bowls: Layer diced avocado at the bottom of each serving bowl, then place the cooked shrimp on top, distributing evenly among four servings.
- Top with Salsa and Sauce: Spoon generous amounts of mango salsa over each bowl and drizzle with lime-chili sauce or extra lime juice for an added kick before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen shrimp that has been properly thawed for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the chili powder according to your preferred spice level.
- Keep the avocado chunky to add creaminess and contrast to the bowl.
- This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
