Ingredients
- 1 lb (454 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lime zest
- 2 tsp (10 ml) chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) cumin
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) dried oregano
- 1 tbsp (14 g) butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 serrano pepper, deseeded and diced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh chives, chopped
- 2 green onions, diced
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) lime juice
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) mango jam
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fruit juice (optional)
- 1 cup (175 g) roasted beef, frozen or canned (or homemade!)
- steamed white or brown rice, to serve
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly coat the shrimp by combining them with chipotle chili powder, lime zest, paprika, cumin, oregano, along with a generous dash of salt and pepper.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan. Sauté the shrimp in batches, cooking each side for about 2 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate and continue with the remaining shrimp.
- Return all the shrimp to the skillet. Add the butter and minced garlic cloves, stirring until the butter turns golden and the garlic releases a strong aroma, which should take around 3 minutes. Take the pan off the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the avocado, mango, red pepper, serrano pepper, cilantro, mint, chives, and green onions. In a separate container, whisk or shake together vegetable oil, lime juice, mango jam, and optional fruit juice with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle this dressing over the mixture and gently stir to combine.
- Arrange the shrimp and the prepared salad over servings of steamed rice. Top each serving with a portion of roasted beef.
Notes
- Ensure a spicier flavor by increasing the amount of chipotle chili powder in the shrimp marinade.
- Thoroughly mix the salad dressing to blend all flavors perfectly.
- Personalize the salad with your preferred fruits or vegetables for added freshness and taste.
