- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown)
- 1 large ripe mango, peeled and diced
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Rice and Ingredients. Cook your rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking, thoroughly pat thawed shrimp dry with paper towels. Dice mango, slice bell peppers, and dice cucumber. Set aside.
- Step 2: Cook the Shrimp. Heat olive or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3: Make the Sauce. In the same skillet, whisk in the sweet chili sauce and fresh lime juice. Bring to a gentle simmer, just enough to warm the sauce through. Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and toss gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Step 4: Assemble the Bowls. Divide the cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top generously with the sweet chili mango shrimp. Arrange the diced mango, sliced bell peppers, and diced cucumber around or over the shrimp.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve. Garnish each bowl with fresh chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and flavorful sweet chili mango shrimp bowl!
