Preparation and Cooking
- Rinse the white rice until the water runs clear. Combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- In a bowl, combine the diced yellow mango, minced red onion, chopped fresh cilantro, tiny bits of red chili, and 1 tbsp of lime juice. Toss gently and let sit at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.
- Pat the shrimp completely dry. Toss with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp for 2 minutes per side until they form a reddish-orange crust with visible grill marks and curl into a 'C' shape.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lime juice, and sriracha until a smooth, pale-orange sauce forms. Add a few drops of water if it needs thinning.
- Spoon the fluffy white rice into a wide bowl. Fan out the thinly sliced avocado on one side and add a scoop of mango salsa on the other. Overlap 5 plump, char-grilled shrimp on top. Drizzle generously with the pale-orange sauce, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and serve with a fresh lime wedge.
Notes
Ensure shrimp are patted bone-dry before seasoning to guarantee perfect grill marks.
Do not slice the avocado until the very last moment to prevent browning.
