# Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 300 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
02 - 15 milliliters olive oil, cold-pressed

→ Spices and Seasonings

03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Mango Salsa

07 - 1 ripe mango, diced (approximately 150 grams)
08 - 50 grams red onion, finely chopped
09 - 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
10 - 15 grams fresh cilantro, chopped
11 - 15 milliliters fresh lime juice
12 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Lime-Chili Sauce

13 - 60 grams mayonnaise, full-fat
14 - 15 milliliters sriracha sauce
15 - 15 milliliters fresh lime juice
16 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
17 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
18 - ¼ teaspoon salt
19 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Base and Garnish

20 - 200 grams cooked jasmine or brown rice
21 - 1 medium avocado, sliced (about 150 grams)
22 - Extra cilantro and lime wedges for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Drizzle olive oil over shrimp then evenly sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat thoroughly.
02 - Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high until water droplets sizzle on contact. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side until opaque and lightly charred. Remove promptly to prevent overcooking.
03 - Combine diced mango, chopped red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently fold to maintain mango pieces intact. Adjust seasoning to balance brightness and saltiness.
04 - Whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust heat or acidity as desired.
05 - Divide cooked rice evenly into serving bowls. Arrange grilled shrimp and sliced avocado atop the rice. Spoon mango salsa generously over the top and drizzle with lime-chili sauce or serve it on the side. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.

# Notes:

01 - Allow shrimp to rest briefly after grilling to retain juices. Store leftover components separately; avocado slices are best fresh to maintain texture and color.
