Prepare the Shrimp:

          - In a medium bowl, mix together the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine and let it sit while preparing the other components.

            Prepare the Lime-Chili Sauce:

              - In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and salt until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

                Assemble the Bowls:

                  - In each serving bowl, add a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with sliced avocado, cooked shrimp, halved cherry tomatoes, and a generous spoonful of mango salsa.

                    - Drizzle the lime-chili sauce over the top, followed by an extra squeeze of lime juice, if desired.

                      Serve:

                        - Serve the shrimp and avocado bowls immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish. Enjoy your tropical feast!
