Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Add the shrimp and coat well. Let marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

    Make the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

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

          Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a base of cooked quinoa or rice, followed by a handful of mixed greens. Top with cooked shrimp, sliced avocado, and a generous scoop of mango salsa.

            Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle each bowl with the lime-chili sauce and serve with lime wedges on the side.
