Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips.
-
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred and starting to soften, 3-4 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, massage rice in package to separate grains; partially open package. Microwave until heated through, about 90 seconds. (For 4 servings, microwave both packages at the same time for 2-3 minutes.) TIP: Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the pouch!
-
Rinse shrimp* under cold water, shaking off excess water.
-
Add shrimp to pan with bell pepper, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are fully cooked, 4-6 minutes.
-
Stir in citrus garlic sauce; cook until sauce is warmed through, 30 seconds.
-
Turn off heat. Stir in mango chutney; season with salt and pepper.
-
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
- Tear or chop cilantro.
-
Divide tortillas between plates. Fill with as much rice and citrus garlic shrimp as you like. Garnish with cilantro and drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Serve with any remaining rice and shrimp on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The citrus-garlic shrimp and mango chutney won many fans, though some found the two sauces together too sweet or overpowering — use less sauce if you prefer a lighter finish.
- Ease of prep: This comes together in well under 20 minutes and is a genuine weeknight lifesaver, even on the busiest nights 🎉.
- Suggestions: Add shredded cabbage or a slaw for crunch, and consider topping with sour cream, avocado, or cheese to round out the flavors. Some reviewers also swapped the rice for cauliflower rice or skipped it entirely in favor of more veggies.
- Leftovers: One reviewer noted the shrimp and sauce tasted great cold straight from the fridge the next day.
- Rice: The packaged Tex-Mex rice divided opinion sharply — many disliked its flavor or texture; skip it or substitute your own if rice is a dealbreaker.
- Texture: Pouring in all the sauce can make the tacos soggy; add it gradually and cook a little longer to reduce excess liquid if needed.
- Deveining: A few reviewers noted the shrimp required deveining before cooking, so budget a few extra minutes for that step.
