Spicy Shrimp Bowl Recipe
There are four main components to this recipe. This is our preferred order of preparation:
- Cook the quinoa: Follow the directions on the package.
- Make the mango salad: Cut the mango, veggies and herbs. Toss together with dressing ingredients.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the shrimp for a couple of minutes, then add the ginger and garlic and cook for one minute. Add in the sauce, then cook till shrimp are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Assemble bowl: Fill the bottom of the bowl with quinoa, top with shrimp, mango salad, and freshly cut avocado.
Variations
You can easily make this bowl your own with a few substitutions. Here are some ideas:
Swap the grains: The quinoa can easily be replaced with rice, brown rice or couscous. Change the protein: You can use the same sauce for chicken, ground meats, or even make it vegetarian by using tofu. Salad variations: For different tropical flavors, change out the mango for pineapple or papaya. Sauce substitutions: Keep it spicy but change up the flavor profile by swapping the chili oil for sriracha, gochujang or sambal oelek.
Leftovers and Storage
As there are several different components, storage times will vary. If stored separately, quinoa can refrigerated 6-7 days, the shrimp and mango salad for 2-3 days. We recommend cutting the avocado fresh, as the quality will degrade over time. For meal prepping, you can store the quinoa and shrimp together in airtight single-serving containers, then heat them up in the microwave. Add in the cold components after heating.
