Tips for the Best Shrimp & Avocado Bowls
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and stay tender when just opaque in the center.​​
- Use a fully ripe mango and avocado for maximum sweetness and creaminess—slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.​
- For meal prep, store shrimp, salsa, and sauce separately; assemble over fresh avocado and rice or greens just before serving.​
FAQs
Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes. Thaw completely, pat very dry, and then season and cook as directed so they sear instead of steaming.​
What can I use instead of mango?
Pineapple, peaches, or even a mix of diced oranges and peppers work well as a sweet, juicy salsa base.​
Is there a dairy-free option for the sauce?
Use dairy‑free yogurt or swap in all mayo and thin with lime juice and a splash of water for a pourable consistency.​
