Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp:

    - In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

      - Add lime juice and let marinate for 15-20 minutes.

        Make the Mango Salsa:

          - In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

            - Add lime juice and season with salt. Mix well and set aside.

              Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce:

                - In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, chili powder, honey (if using), and salt.

                  - Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

                    Cook the Shrimp:

                      - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer.

                        - Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

                          Prepare the Avocado:

                            - In a small bowl, toss the avocado slices with lime juice and a pinch of salt to prevent browning.

                              Assemble the Bowls:

                                - In serving bowls, layer with cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base.

                                  - Top with cooked shrimp, avocado slices, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.

                                    - Drizzle with lime-chili sauce and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Garnish with lime wedges on the side and serve immediately for a fresh, vibrant meal.
