  • Total Time: 16 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and diced
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Dressing & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Cook the shrimp in a hot skillet over medium heat until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Dice your avocado and mango: While shrimp cooks, peel and dice avocado and mango into bite-sized cubes. Toss avocado immediately with fresh lime juice to prevent browning.
  3. Chop the veggies and herbs: Dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into small pieces. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves to add a bright herbal note.
  4. Assemble the bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine shrimp, avocado, mango, bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro. Drizzle with remaining lime juice and olive oil, then gently toss to blend flavors without mashing avocado.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Divide mixture into serving bowls. Garnish as desired with toasted pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts, extra cilantro, or chili flakes. Best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Choose perfectly ripe mango that yields slightly to gentle pressure for optimal sweetness.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; cook just until pink to ensure tenderness.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor and to prevent avocado browning.
  • Dice avocado and mango to uniform sizes for balanced texture and even bites.
  • Gently toss ingredients to keep avocado chunks intact and visually appealing.
