Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Mango Salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside for the flavors to meld.

      Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.

          Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of quinoa or rice (if using). Top with sliced avocados, cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and a generous scoop of mango salsa. Drizzle with lime-chili sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

            Enjoy! Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl before digging in to experience the harmony of flavors.
