- Start cooking your rice utilizing your preferred method. I typically opt for the rice cooker, & the amount of water you use may vary depending on what you prefer.1 cup Jasmine Rice, 1 tbsp Salted Butter, 3/4 cup Water
- Heat your skillet over high heat, & then add olive oil. Once it is hot & shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Be careful not to crowd the shrimp, & use two pans or do two batches if necessary. Cook until there is a nice sear on each side, ~3-4 minutes per side.2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Combine the rice, pan-seared shrimp, & fresh mango salsa into your meal prep containers. Serve with two lime wedges in each container so that each meal has freshly squeezed lime juice. Enjoy!2 Limes
