Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

      Prepare the Avocado Layer: In another bowl, gently toss the diced avocados with lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Be careful not to mash the avocados.

        Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

          Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, honey (if using), and salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.

            Assemble the Bowls: In a serving bowl, start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top with the cooked shrimp, avocado layer, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.

              Drizzle with Sauce: Finish by drizzling the lime-chili sauce over the top and garnish with fresh lime wedges and extra cilantro.

                Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and fresh Shrimp & Avocado Paradise Bowls!
