  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced approx 40g
  • 1 jalapeño, finely minced seeds removed for less heat
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped approx 10g
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 120g
  • 2 tbsp lime juice 30ml
  • 1-2 tsp sriracha or chili sauce to taste
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice 185g, to yield about 3 cups cooked
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Grill or Grill Pan
  • 1 Medium Saucepan
  • 3 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Cook rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, minced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over top, add a pinch of salt, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, sriracha, and salt until smooth. Add a teaspoon of water if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
  4. Pat the shrimp dry. In a bowl, toss them with avocado oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side, until opaque and charred.
  5. Divide the rice between two bowls. Top with the grilled shrimp, sliced avocado, and a generous scoop of mango salsa. Drizzle with the lime-chili sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and extra cilantro.

Notes

Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cook in minutes. The moment they turn pink and opaque, they're done. Overcooking will make them tough.
Choose the Right Avocado: Look for an avocado that yields to gentle pressure. This will ensure it's creamy and easy to slice thinly.
Let the Salsa Marinate: Making the mango salsa first gives the flavors time to meld together, resulting in a more delicious final product.
