Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Make the Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, mix the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld.

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

        Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

          Assemble the Bowls: In each avocado half, add a scoop of cooked quinoa, followed by black beans, cherry tomatoes, and a few shrimp. Top generously with mango salsa and a drizzle of lime-chili sauce.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the bowls for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Shrimp and Avocado Bowls!
