Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prepare Mango Salsa: In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Make Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste and set aside.

        Cook the Shrimp: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

          Prepare the Avocado: In another bowl, toss the diced avocados with lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

            Assemble the Bowls: If using, start with a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice in each bowl. Top with the cooked shrimp, diced avocado, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.

              Drizzle with Lime-Chili Sauce: Finish by drizzling the lime-chili sauce over the top.

                Garnish: Serve with lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnish.
