Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Marinade

  • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled & deveined)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper (omit if you don’t want the shrimp too spicy)
  • 1 tsp agave nectar or honey

Mango Salsa

  • 2 small mangos (diced, or 1 large mango)
  • 1 large avocado (diced)
  • ¼ cup red onion (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño (deseeded & finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro (chopped, leaves & stems)
  • 1 lime (juiced)

Serving Components

  • Green cabbage (shredded)
  • White rice (cooked)
  • Limes (for serving)
  • Tortilla chips (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vibrant Mango Salsa: In a large bowl, combine diced mangos, diced avocado, chopped red onion, finely chopped jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and gently toss until fully combined. Taste and adjust with additional lime juice if needed to balance sweetness and tanginess.
  2. Marinate & Skewer the Chili-Lime Shrimp: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add agave nectar or honey and mix well. Pat the raw shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure better adherence of spices and grilling results. Place shrimp in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Toss well to coat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers for easier grilling and to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
  3. Grill the Perfect Chili-Lime Shrimp: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink, opaque, and develop nice char marks. Avoid overcooking to keep shrimp tender and juicy.
  4. Assemble Your Vibrant Bowls: Divide cooked white rice equally among serving bowls. Top each with a generous amount of shredded green cabbage. Arrange the grilled shrimp skewers on top, then spoon generous portions of the fresh mango salsa over everything. Garnish each bowl with a fresh lime wedge and serve with optional tortilla chips for added crunch.

Notes

  • To make this dish less spicy, omit the cayenne pepper and deseed the jalapeño before adding it to the salsa.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can use a grill pan or broil the shrimp in the oven.
  • Skewering shrimp prevents them from falling through the grill grates and makes flipping easier.
  • Use fresh, ripe mangoes and avocado for the best flavor and texture in the salsa.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep – keep components separate until ready to serve.
