- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 0.25 cup red onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, Sriracha, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and black pepper if needed. This will be the sweet and spicy dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mango, diced avocado, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add the cooked shrimp to the salad bowl and gently toss to combine.
Drizzle the sweet and spicy dressing over the salad and toss again until everything is evenly coated.
