Mango Shrimp Fajita Bowl
A vibrant, comforting bowl featuring sautéed shrimp, fresh veggies, and sweet mango, perfect for a quick dinner or family gathering.
Ingredients
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined fresh or frozen, ensure they’re thawed
- 1 tsp chili powder for a kick of heat
- 1 tsp cumin earthy and warm
- Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, diced look for one that yields slightly when pressed
- 1 bell pepper, sliced any color, bright hues add cheer
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced adds a zesty crunch
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced for that aromatic base
- Lime wedges, for serving the zest of lime brightens it all up
Cooking Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for a lighter touch
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds until golden.
- Toss in the shrimp along with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender but still vibrant—just enough to retain that crispness!
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, adding in the diced mango. Stir gently until everything is heated through and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Serving
- Spoon the colorful mixture into bowls, garnishing with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for that extra zest!
Notes
For variations, consider adding sliced avocado for creaminess or swapping mango for pineapple for a tangy flavor. To make it vegetarian, replace shrimp with grilled chicken or tofu.
