Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

    Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

      Make the Lime-Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, allocate equal portions of the cooked quinoa or brown rice. Layer with mixed greens, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and cooked shrimp.

          Top with Salsa and Sauce: Generously scoop mango salsa over each bowl and drizzle with lime-chili sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

            Serve Immediately: Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful shrimp and avocado bowls fresh!
