Can I use frozen shrimp for these bowls?

Absolutely! Frozen shrimp work great - just thaw them overnight in the fridge or place the bag in cold water for 30 minutes. Pat them dry really well before cooking to get that perfect sear. I always keep a bag in my freezer for last-minute shrimp and avocado bowl cravings!

How do I know when my shrimp are cooked perfectly?

Watch for two signs: they'll turn from gray to pink and curl into loose C-shapes. The moment they're opaque all the way through (cut one open to check), take them off the heat. They cook fast - usually just 2-3 minutes per side - so don't walk away!

Can I make the mango salsa ahead of time?

You bet! The salsa actually gets better after chilling for an hour. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The lime juice keeps everything bright and fresh. I often make a double batch to use in salads or with chips later!

What's the best way to store leftovers?

Keep components separate if possible - shrimp in one container, salsa in another, and avocado slices with lime juice. The shrimp will last 2 days in the fridge (reheat gently), but the avocado and salsa are best eaten fresh. Trust me, these bowls rarely last long enough to worry about storage!
