Instructions
PREPARATIONS
This dish is made with my Jalapeño Oil. If you want to replace it, you can use olive oil instead and for the pulp in the cilantro-yogurt sauce, use 1-2 fresh jalapeños + 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, add cumin, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cayenne, and Cajun seasoning. Finely chop half of a fresh chili and add it to the spices. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil and the juice of half a lime, and mix everything into a creamy paste. Wash the shrimp, pat dry, and place in a bowl. Add the creamy marinade and mix well to evenly coat all the shrimp. Set aside at room temperature.
- Wash and let your rice cook according to the package instructions.
- Meanwhile, in a tall container, blend yogurt, the pulp from making the Jalapeño Oil, 1-2 peeled garlic cloves, cilantro, parsley, salt, and pepper with an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside.
- Next, peel the mango, avocado, and red onion. Chop everything into small pieces and put in a medium bowl. Mix with the juice of half a lime and a little salt, and set aside.
- Wash and pat dry the mung bean sprouts and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of Jalapeño Oil in a frying pan and add the shrimp along with the remaining marinade. Briefly fry the shrimp on both sides and let the sauce reduce at the same time.
- In a deep bowl, distribute the rice, place mung bean sprouts on one side and the mango-avocado salad on the other. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the green cilantro-yogurt sauce to the sprouts, then lay the shrimp on top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. You can also top it off with fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro, and fresh chili.
