Instructions
1. Prepare the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with lime zest, chipotle chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the shrimp in batches, about 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove each batch to a plate as you finish.
- Add all the shrimp back to the pan, along with the butter and minced garlic.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter browns and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat.
3. Make the Mango Avocado Salad:
- In a large bowl, combine diced avocado, mango, red pepper, serrano pepper, cilantro, mint, chives, and green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, mango jam, tequila (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
4. Assemble the Bowls:
- Divide the steamed rice into four bowls.
- Top each bowl with shrimp, mango avocado salad, and a generous portion of roasted corn.
- Garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, use fresh corn that’s been roasted or grilled.
- The tequila in the dressing adds a nice depth of flavor but can be omitted if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
- This dish is highly customizable – you can add other veggies or toppings of your choice.
