Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well-coated. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and caramelized.
  2. While the shrimp cooks, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, minced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix gently and let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. For the lime-chili sauce, whisk together mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl until creamy.
  4. To assemble the Mediterranean Shrimp Bowl, start with cooked rice or cauliflower rice as the base. Arrange grilled shrimp on top, add avocado slices, and a scoop of mango salsa. Drizzle with lime-chili sauce.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
