Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until it runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Let it steam off the heat for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- While the rice cooks, prepare the mango salsa by dicing one bright yellow mango and finely chopping half a purple onion, one jalapeno, and a handful of cilantro leaves. In a mixing bowl, combine these ingredients and drizzle with the juice of one lime for acidity. Gently toss to mix the flavors and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha, adjusting the heat to your preference. Add a squeeze of lime juice and whisk until smooth. Transfer the creamy sauce into a squeeze bottle or a small bowl for easy drizzling.
- Pat 1 pound of large, peeled, and deveined shrimp dry. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and develop charred edges.
- In a serving bowl, layer a scoop of the fluffy rice as the base. Top it with the spiced shrimp, then slice a large green avocado and fan the slices beautifully. Spoon a portion of the fresh mango salsa over the shrimp and avocado, and finish with a drizzle of creamy sauce and sprinkle black sesame seeds on top.

Notes
For optimal taste, adjust seasoning in both shrimp and sauce as preferred. Slice avocado last to keep it fresh.
