Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp Marinade
- 1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or white rice
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 large avocado, diced
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, sliced or diced
- 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
- ½ cup edamame, cooked and shelled
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Dressing
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients to infuse the shrimp with bright and spicy flavors.
- Cook the Rice: If not using pre-cooked rice, cook 1 cup dry jasmine or white rice according to package instructions until tender and fluffy, yielding approximately 2 cups cooked rice. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, indicating they are fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt until smooth. This citrusy dressing adds a tangy sweetness that enhances the bowl’s flavors.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice equally among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with cooked shrimp, diced mango, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, shelled edamame, and jalapeño slices if using.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Drizzle each bowl generously with the prepared citrus dressing. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts on top if desired for added crunch. Serve immediately to enjoy fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
- You can use cooked rice from leftovers to save time.
- Adjust the chili flakes and jalapeño to control the heat level to your preference.
- For a nut-free option, omit toasted sesame seeds or nuts topping.
- Substitute edamame with green peas or snap peas if preferred.
- Use honey or maple syrup according to your dietary preference for sweetness.
