Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

      - Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss until well coated. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

        Make the Mango Salsa:

          - In a separate bowl, combine diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

            Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce:

              - In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

                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 are cooked through. Remove from heat.

                    Assemble the Bowls:

                      - In serving bowls, start with a base of quinoa or rice. Top each bowl with sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and the cooked shrimp.

                        - Spoon the mango salsa generously over the shrimp.

                          Drizzle with Sauce:

                            - Drizzle the lime-chili sauce over the top of the bowls for added flavor.

                              Garnish and Serve:

                                - Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.
