😊 Cilantro Lime Quinoa
In a medium sized sauce pan bring the quinoa, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 cups of water to a boil. Once the quinoa is boiling reduce the heat to medium low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Off the heat stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
Mango Salsa
In a large bowl toss together the diced mangos, red onion, cilantro, chili powder, and salt.
Avocado Crema
In a blender combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
Cilantro Lime Shrimp
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and the cumin. Heat the oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes then flip them over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. At the very end of the cooking squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add in the chopped cilantro.
Assembling the Bowls
Fill each bowl with about 1/2 a cup of the cooked quinoa. Top the quinoa with a 1/4 of the shrimp, 1/4 of the black beans, and as much mango salsa and avocado cream as desired. Serve immediately.
