Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp:

    - In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

      Make the Mango Salsa:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently and set aside to let flavors meld.

          Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce:

            - In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning as desired.

              Cook the Shrimp:

                - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    - If using rice or quinoa, divide it amongst bowls. Top with cooked shrimp, diced avocado (tossed with lime juice and salt), and a generous scoop of mango salsa. Drizzle lime-chili sauce over each bowl.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        - Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Shrimp & Avocado Fiesta Bowls!
