Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, a pinch of salt, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, in a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp thoroughly and let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, you can sauté the red bell pepper and red onion for about 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened (optional).
- Divide the cooked jasmine rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked shrimp, diced mango, sautéed bell pepper, sliced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a drizzle of extra lime juice, if desired.
- Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
Notes
- Marinating the shrimp enhances the flavor, so don’t skip this step.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
- Serve with additional lime wedges for those who prefer extra acidity.
