1/8 tsp Black Pepper (for shrimp)

1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
1 Jalapeno, seeded and minced (optional)
Juice of 1/2 Lime
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

2 tbsp Lime Juice

1/4 tsp Chili Powder (or to taste)
Salt to taste
For Serving:
2 cups Cooked Rice (e.g., brown rice, quinoa)
1 Avocado, sliced

Instructions
Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno (if using). Stir in the lime juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Grill the Shrimp: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Alternatively, pan-sear the shrimp in a lightly oiled skillet.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and a generous portion of mango salsa. Drizzle with the lime-chili sauce.
Garnish: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
For a spicier salsa, leave some of the jalapeno seeds in.
Ensure the shrimp is not overcooked to maintain tenderness.
Quinoa or cauliflower rice can be used as healthier alternatives to white rice.
