Spicy Shrimp & Peach Salsa Bowls with Coconut Rice

A vibrant and flavorful combination of spicy shrimp, juicy peaches, and creamy coconut rice. Perfect for a light summer dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe peaches, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, cumin powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  2. Make the salsa: In a separate bowl, combine the diced peaches, red onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. Cook the coconut rice: In a saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, coconut milk, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the coconut rice among serving bowls. Top with the cooked shrimp and peach salsa. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
