Spicy Shrimp & Mango Salsa Bowls with Coconut Lime Rice

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring spicy shrimp, a sweet and tangy mango salsa, and fluffy coconut lime rice.

Ingredients:

  • For the Shrimp:
    • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon paprika
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Mango Salsa:
    • 1 ripe mango, diced
    • ½ red onion, finely chopped
    • ½ cup chopped cilantro
    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (adjust to taste)
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Coconut Lime Rice:
    • 1 cup white rice
    • 1 ¾ cups water
    • ½ cup coconut milk
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, water, coconut milk, lime juice, and ginger in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Shrimp: While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
  3. Make the Mango Salsa: Combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the coconut lime rice among bowls. Top with the sautéed shrimp and a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
