Instructions

Make the Mango Salsa: In a bowl, combine mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Prepare the Lime-Chili Drizzle: Whisk together olive oil, honey, lime zest and juice, chili paste, sriracha, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside or refrigerate.
Cook the Shrimp: Toss shrimp with olive oil, paprika, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque. Squeeze lime juice over shrimp before removing from heat.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each with shrimp, avocado slices, mango salsa, and chopped green onions. Drizzle generously with the lime-chili sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the shrimp for about 15-30 minutes before cooking. Use fresh ingredients for the salsa for a brighter taste.
