Succulent shrimp, sweet mango, and fresh veggies come together over jasmine rice for a vibrant bowl.

# What You'll Need:

→ Grains

01 - 1 cup jasmine rice

→ Liquids

02 - 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

→ Seafood

03 - 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

→ Fruits and Vegetables

04 - 1 ripe mango, diced
05 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1 avocado, sliced
07 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

→ Fresh Herbs

09 - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

→ Condiments and Oils

10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 2 tablespoons lime juice

→ Spices and Seasonings

12 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
13 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
14 - Salt, to taste
15 - Black pepper, to taste

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium saucepan, bring water or low-sodium chicken broth to a boil. Add jasmine rice and a pinch of salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
02 - While rice is cooking, combine shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss to evenly coat and allow shrimp to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, sauté red bell pepper and red onion for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened, if desired.
05 - Divide cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Arrange sautéed shrimp, diced mango, sautéed bell pepper, sliced avocado, and halved cherry tomatoes over the rice. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and drizzle extra lime juice if desired.
06 - Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges on the side for added flavor.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Marinating the shrimp enhances flavor and ensures tenderness; using chicken broth instead of water gives the rice added richness.
