Not only does this shrimp, black rice and mango salad taste great, but it also looks beautiful thanks to the mix of colors. The fresh lime dressing goes really well with the nutty taste of black rice, sweet mango, creamy avocado and crunchy spring onion.

Shrimp tastes best when cooked with lots of garlic. You can also add a small splash of soy sauce for even more flavour.

Black rice has a firm texture, a nutty taste and is full of fibre because it's a whole grain type of rice. You can even use it for rice pudding, because it becomes sticky due to its starch content.

Preparation – 30 minutes

Fill a medium-sized pan with water and bring it to a boil. Cook the black rice in the boiling water, which takes about 30 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, peel the red onion and garlic cloves and chop them finely.

Remove the stems from the tomatoes and cut the tomatoes into small cubes. Slice the spring onions into thin rings.

Peel the mango and cut it into rather small cubes. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and slice the avocado.

Making shrimp, black rice and mango salad – 15 minutes

Make a lime dressing by grating the zest of both limes. Squeeze out the juice and mix it with half a teaspoon of mustard, 2 tablespoons of honey, and pepper and salt to taste. Slowly add 2 tablespoons of olive oil while mixing with a small whisk.

Heat a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the shrimps on high heat for about 2 minutes.

Add the chopped red onion and garlic and fry the shrimp for another 5 minutes on high heat.

Drain the black rice and divide it over 4 plates or bowls. Divide mango, tomato, spring onion and avocado on top.

Top with the fried shrimps, then finish with lime dressing and salted peanuts. Enjoy!

Tips!

Why is black rice also called forbidden rice?

Because of its dark color and healthy nutrients, black rice was once highly valued in ancient China. It was reserved only for the royal family, and eating it was forbidden for common people.

Can I use peeled shrimps?

Yes, you can use peeled shrimps for this black rice salad. Both raw and pre-cooked shrimp work well, since they are fried with garlic and red onion.
