👩🍳 How to Make It
1. Cook the Shrimp
Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and lightly browned. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Make the Fresh Mango Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, fresh lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Gently stir to combine and let the salsa rest for a few minutes so the flavors meld together.
3. Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, chili flakes, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or spice as desired.
4. Assemble the Bowls
Divide the cooked rice or quinoa evenly between two serving bowls. Arrange the sliced avocado, pan-seared shrimp, and a generous scoop of fresh mango salsa over the top.
5. Garnish and Serve
Drizzle the lime-chili sauce generously over each bowl. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
