Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Spicy Mayo:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice (or quinoa, cauliflower rice, etc.)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Pickled ginger (for garnish)
  • Nori strips (seaweed, for garnish)
  • Chopped peanuts or cashews (for garnish)
  • Extra sriracha or soy sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spicy Mayo: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce. Adjust the level of sriracha to your preferred spice level. Mix well until smooth and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, then sprinkle them evenly with soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook the shrimp for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque, ensuring even cooking and caramelization of the glaze.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Arrange the cooked shrimp on top of the rice. Around the shrimp, neatly place shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, radishes, avocado slices, and green onions for freshness and crunch.
  4. Add Toppings and Garnishes: Drizzle each bowl generously with the prepared spicy mayo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired. Add pickled ginger and nori strips for an extra burst of flavor and texture, and finish with chopped peanuts or cashews for crunch. Serve with extra sriracha or soy sauce for added seasoning.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • Use quinoa or cauliflower rice for a gluten-free or lower-carb variation.
  • If you prefer less spice, reduce or omit the sriracha and red pepper flakes.
  • To save time, the shrimp can be marinated briefly with spices before cooking for enhanced flavor depth.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro really brighten the bowl but can be omitted if unavailable.
