- Suggestions: Consider adding veggies like bell peppers or broccoli for more texture and nutrition; some wanted more mango or a crunchy topping.
- Portions: Several felt the meal was small or lacking; adding beans, extra rice, or a side salad helped make it more filling.

Reviews from our home cooks
Loved the easy prep. Would like more quick and easy prep meals with more interesting flavor profiles. The ancho flavor was a single note, which made the overall flavor spicy but boring. It overpowered the shrimp and mango. It would be improved by some chopped red or green peppers, perhaps, and a more complex spice blend in the sauce packet. Perhaps a dash of lime. (Although, I get it that it would no longer be "no-chop" at that point.) I ended up eating the whole thing in one sitting (both servings), so the portions might be a bit small, or perhaps the lack of veggies made it less filling. I would make it again, but customize it.
I love the concept here as to how easy and fast it is to make this dinner, so please keep the no-chop options coming, but this sauce is way too spicy. I would suggest half the sauce or a milder sauce, double the amount of mango, and offer a packet of sour cream to tone down the spice level.
Super easy and high protein! I only used half of the ancho chili sauce because I didn't want it to over power the mango. Great for busy weeknights!
This was a godsend after a busy day at work. I'm adjusting to being back in the office. This dinner saved me from resorting to junk for dinner. I had some Mexican crema and added some and it was so good! The shrimp was so fresh and yummy too. Perfect mix of sweet and heat!
Outstanding! I loved this, the flavors were great! I was so happy the rice was precooked and mango cut up and ready to add to the dish. One of my favorite Hello Fresh meals ever!
Delicious and incredibly easy. I would have enjoyed a spot of green, maybe some cilantro or a veggie. The heat from the anocho pepper sauce paired nicely with the sweet mango.
This tasted great and was probably easier than ordering takeout. You can't beat that when you are pressed for time. (Only critique - the mango may have been peaches? But was still good)
So easy, loved the bites of mango with the smoky ancho
The shrimp was delicious! Very fresh and easy to cook. I love the mango flavor with the rice.
So tasty! I would have like if it had more mango pieces or maybe some bell pepper or something but it was Very good!
