Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (Rinsed until water runs clear)
  • 2 cups water (For cooking rice)
  • 1 lb large shrimp (Peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (For searing)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder (For the reddish spice blend)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup bright yellow mango (Diced into uniform cubes)
  • 0.25 cup purple onion (Finely minced)
  • 1 tbsp green jalapeno (Minced into bits)
  • 2 tbsp fresh green cilantro leaves (Chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (Or smooth hot sauce)
  • 1 large green avocado (Freshly sliced into a neat fan)
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds (For sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the rice. In a medium pot, combine the rinsed long-grain white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the shrimp. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix the chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and kosher salt. Toss the shrimp in the spice mix until they are evenly coated.
  3. Add the seasoned shrimp to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and charred. Remove the skillet from heat.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, minced purple onion, minced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. This salsa will add freshness to your bowl.
  5. In another small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with sriracha and lime juice for a spicy dip.
  6. To assemble, start with a serving of rice in a bowl. Top it with the charred shrimp, mango salsa, and arrange the sliced avocado in a fan shape on the side. Drizzle with the spicy mayonnaise and finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container. Best if avocado is kept separate to prevent browning.
