Ingredients

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe mangos, diced
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated.

  4. Add the cooked quinoa to the bowl of mixed veggies and fruit. Drizzle with lime juice and gently toss to combine.
  5. To assemble, divide the quinoa mixture among four bowls. Top each with cooked shrimp and an extra sprinkle of cilantro.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, bright flavors of this tropical retreat.

Helpful Tips

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the shrimp marinade.
  • If you’re new to cooking shrimp, watch for them to curl into a C-shape and turn pink for the perfect doneness.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the shrimp separate from the quinoa mixture to maintain the best texture.

Ingredient Substitutions

Substitute quinoa with brown rice or couscous if desired. If you don’t have fresh mango, canned or frozen diced mango works as well.

Suggested Pairings

This Shrimp Mango Avocado Bowl pairs beautifully with a light, crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea. For a fuller meal, add a side of grilled vegetables or a simple green salad.
