Overview​

One of the fastest and easiest meals you’ll ever make—no knifework required! In this sweet-and-smoky bowl, shrimp is sautéed and tossed with microwavable rice, juicy mango chunks, and a tangy ancho chile sauce. It all comes together in a single pan in under 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights without compromising on bold flavor.

This meal is inspired by Hello Fresh, which we originally used to make this in the past.
