Scale

For the shrimp

  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

For the base:

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, brown rice, or quinoa
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • For the creamy avocado
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • For the zesty mango salsa
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: jalapeño, minced
  • For the lime chili sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Toss shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through.
  • Mash avocado with lime juice, salt, cilantro, and Greek yogurt if using, until creamy.
  • Mix mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and jalapeño if using.
  • Whisk lime juice, honey, sriracha, olive oil, and salt for the lime chili sauce.
  • Assemble bowls with rice or quinoa, greens, tomatoes, and cucumber. Add shrimp, a scoop of creamy avocado, mango salsa, and drizzle with lime chili sauce.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store shrimp, base, salsa, avocado, and sauce separately and assemble right before eating.
  • For extra heat, add jalapeño to the salsa and increase sriracha.
  • For a lighter healthy dinner, reduce rice and increase greens, and use Greek yogurt in the avocado.
