Shrimp and Avocado Bowls with Mango Salsa & Lime-Chili Sauce

This bowl has so many delicious flavors. I’ve seen it posted all over the internet. I used quinoa as the base and love the extra mango and avocado on the side. The mango salsa, by itself, is very good and could be used in a variety of recipes. This is a light, refreshing meal for summer!
