Mango Basil Shrimp Skillet

Marrying mango and basil was the goal of this dish. I think you'll enjoy how every ingredient keeps its own distinct flavor, and yet this is a nice blend of the flavors together. You can also enjoy this dish on top of a bed of rice or pasta, rather than mixed in.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 bunches scallions, chopped
½ red bell pepper, cut into bite-size pieces
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
2 cups hot cooked rice
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place shrimp, scallions, and bell pepper into the hot skillet and season with garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook until peppers are soft and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes.
Stir mango and basil into the skillet and cook until they are at temperature with other ingredients, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and sprinkle feta cheese on top. Serve.
