Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and toss well to coat. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Prepare your choice of cooked rice according to package instructions and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together diced mango, chopped tomato, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add finely chopped jalapeño if desired, squeeze in lime juice, and season with salt. Refrigerate.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, and chili garlic sauce. Adjust consistency with water if necessary.
  5. Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat. Grill marinated shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until opaque and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble bowls starting with a base of rice, topped with grilled shrimp and avocado slices. Spoon over the mango salsa, drizzle with lime-chili sauce, and garnish with lime wedges and fresh herbs.
