Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin

  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 18-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  2. Season the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and kosher salt. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
  3. Sear the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and opaque.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  5. Build Your Bowl: In serving bowls, add a scoop of rice, topped with charred shrimp, diced mango, purple onion, minced jalapeño, cilantro, and sliced avocado.
  6. Drizzle with Sauce: Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the top and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

Notes

To prevent avocado from browning, sprinkle with lime juice before serving. This dish can be made ahead of time; just assemble when ready to eat.
