- 1 cup mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
For the Shrimp and Bowl Assembly
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir well to blend the flavors and set the salsa aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes until they become pink and opaque, turning occasionally to cook evenly.
- Assemble the Bowls: In individual serving bowls, place a layer of diced avocado as the base. Top with the freshly cooked shrimp and then spoon the mango salsa generously over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
- Add Final Touches and Serve: Drizzle additional lime juice and optional lime-chili sauce over the assembled bowls to enhance the tangy and spicy flavor profile. Serve immediately to enjoy the best freshness and flavor.
Notes
