Ingredients
Jasmine Rice: 1 cup dry
Water: 2 cups
Large Shrimp (peeled, deveined): 1 lb
Ripe Mango (diced): 1 large
Red Bell Pepper (diced): 1 large
Red Onion (thinly sliced): ½ small
Cilantro (fresh, chopped): ¼ cup
Olive Oil: 1 tbsp
Salt: ½ tsp, plus more to taste
Black Pepper: ¼ tsp, plus more to taste
For Dressing:
Lime Juice (freshly squeezed): 2 tbsp
Honey: 1 tbsp
Soy Sauce (low sodium): 1 tbsp
Rice Vinegar: 1 tbsp
Sesame Oil: 1 tsp
Garlic (minced): 1 clove
Red Pepper Flakes (optional): ¼ tsp
Instructions
1. Cook the rice: In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
3. Cook the shrimp: Pat shrimp dry and season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from pan.
4. Prep veggies: Dice mango and bell pepper, slice onion, chop cilantro.
5. Assemble bowls: Divide rice among 4 bowls. Top with shrimp, mango, bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with dressing, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately.
Notes
For perfect rice, rinse before cooking to remove excess starch. Do not overcook shrimp. Choose a ripe mango that yields slightly to gentle pressure. To meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before serving. Dressing keeps up to 1 week in the fridge. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Adjust spice level by omitting or increasing red pepper flakes.
