- 20 pieces fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
Produce
- ½ fresh mango, diced
- ½ cup snap peas, trimmed and halved
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup green onion, sliced
- 1 fresh lime, juiced
Seasonings & Extras
- Cooking spray
- Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning, to taste (about 1-2 tablespoons)
- 4 tablespoons spicy mayo
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season and cook the shrimp: Sprinkle the shrimp generously with Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp during the last minute of cooking to enhance flavor.
- Prepare the rice and beans: While the shrimp cook, ensure the white rice is cooked and warm. Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly.
- Assemble the bowls: In each serving bowl, add a base of cooked white rice. Layer on black beans, snap peas, diced mango, sliced avocado, and green onions.
- Add shrimp and spicy mayo: Place the cooked chili lime shrimp on top of the bowls. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo over each bowl for a creamy, spicy kick.
- Final garnish: Optionally, add an extra squeeze of lime juice or sprinkle additional Chile Lime Seasoning to taste before serving.
