Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.

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

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

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

          Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa (or rice) among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with diced avocado, cooked shrimp, mango salsa, and a drizzle of lime-chili sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
