Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth or water

1 cup mango, diced

1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeds removed and diced (optional for spice)

Juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Lettuce leaves or mixed greens for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

    Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

      Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a scoop of quinoa as the base. Top with diced avocado, cooked shrimp, and a generous portion of mango salsa.

          Garnish and Serve: Optionally, serve atop lettuce leaves or mixed greens for added crunch. Enjoy your Tropical Shrimp & Avocado Delight immediately!
