Ingredients
- Shrimp
- Avocado
- Mango
- Lime
- Chili powder
- Cilantro
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Step 2: Make the Mango Salsa: While the shrimp cooks, dice the mango into small cubes. In a bowl, combine diced mango, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently to combine all ingredients. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Step 3: Prepare Avocado: Cut the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and slice it into thin pieces. Drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning while you prepare the bowls.
- Step 4: Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start by layering slices of avocado at the bottom. Top them generously with sautéed shrimp followed by spoonfuls of mango salsa. Drizzle lime-chili sauce over everything for an extra kick of flavor.
- Step 5: Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh! Serve immediately while the shrimp is warm and avocado is creamy. You can also add tortilla chips on the side for added crunch!
Notes
- For storage, keep the shrimp, avocado, and mango salsa in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness and prevent browning. When reheating the shrimp, do so gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking; be cautious not to heat the avocado or mango salsa, as they are best enjoyed fresh. For a delightful serving suggestion, pair your bowls with crispy tortilla chips on the side for an added crunch that complements the creamy avocado and zesty salsa. A chef's tip: to enhance flavor, marinate the shrimp in lime juice and chili powder for 15-30 minutes before cooking for an extra kick!
