Tropical Delight: Shrimp Avocado Mango Bowls that Sizzle and Refresh

Learn how to make delicious Shrimp Avocado Mango Bowls. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to bring these bowls to life:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: 1 jalapeño, sliced for extra heat

If you need substitutions, don’t worry. Swap quinoa for brown rice or couscous, and if cilantro isn’t your thing, parsley offers a fresh alternative. Remember, it’s all about what works in your kitchen.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here’s how you can whip up these bowls:

  1. Start by marinating the shrimp. In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the mixture until well coated. Let them sit while you prep the other ingredients—about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine diced avocados, mangoes, red bell pepper, and lime juice. Gently toss to mix.
  4. To assemble the bowls, start with a base of quinoa or rice. Top with the mango and avocado mixture, then layer on the shrimp.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices if using. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Pro tip from my kitchen: If you’re making this dish ahead of time, prep all ingredients and store them separately to keep everything fresh until you’re ready to serve.
