Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: Shrimp: The star protein! You’ll want about 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined. Opt for fresh or frozen (thawed) – just make sure they are good quality for the best flavor. Shrimp offers a lean protein boost and cooks quickly, making it ideal for a speedy meal.; Avocados: Creamy, dreamy avocados are essential for richness and healthy fats. You’ll need 2 ripe avocados, diced. Look for avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure – not too hard, not too mushy. Avocados provide monounsaturated fats, which are good for heart health, and a wonderful creamy texture.; Mangoes: Sweet and juicy mangoes bring the tropical sunshine to this bowl. You’ll need 2 ripe mangoes, diced. Choose mangoes that are fragrant and slightly soft. Mangoes are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, adding both flavor and nutritional value.; Red Onion: A little bit of red onion adds a subtle sharpness and bite to the mango salsa. You’ll need about ¼ of a red onion, finely diced. Red onion is milder than white onion and contributes a beautiful color and flavor depth.; Cilantro: Fresh cilantro is a must for that vibrant, herbaceous flavor. You’ll need about ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro. Cilantro adds a fresh, zesty note that complements the sweetness of the mango and the richness of the avocado.; Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is crucial for brightening up the flavors and adding a tangy kick. You’ll need the juice of 2-3 limes. Lime juice not only enhances the taste but also helps to prevent the avocado from browning.; Jalapeño (Optional): For a touch of heat, a finely minced jalapeño adds a delightful kick. Use ½ to 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced, depending on your spice preference. Jalapeños offer a subtle heat and depth of flavor; remember to remove the seeds and membranes for less intense heat.; Cooked Rice or Quinoa: The base of our bowls! Choose your favorite grain – cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine) or quinoa works wonderfully. You’ll need about 2-3 cups cooked. Rice and quinoa provide carbohydrates for energy and help make the bowl a complete and satisfying meal.; Olive Oil: Used for cooking the shrimp and in the dressing. You’ll need about 2 tablespoons. Opt for good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and health benefits.; Spices: A blend of spices elevates the shrimp. You’ll need: Chili Powder: Adds warmth and depth. About 1 teaspoon.; Cumin: Earthy and aromatic, complements the shrimp beautifully. About ½ teaspoon.; Garlic Powder: Enhances the savory flavor. About ½ teaspoon.; Salt and Black Pepper: To taste, essential for seasoning and bringing out all the flavors.; For the Dressing (Optional but Recommended): A light dressing ties everything together. Olive Oil: About 2 tablespoons.; Lime Juice: About 1 tablespoon.; Honey or Maple Syrup (Optional): For a touch of sweetness. About ½ teaspoon.; Salt and Pepper: To taste.; Optional Toppings (for extra flair and flavor): Sesame Seeds: Adds a nutty crunch and visual appeal.; Red Pepper Flakes: For extra heat.; Chopped Green Onions: For a mild oniony bite and freshness.; Tortilla Strips or Crispy Wonton Strips: For added texture and crunch.
