Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup spicy mayo (mix mayo with sriracha to taste)

Method
 

Cooking the Rice
  1. Start by cooking your choice of rice according to the package instructions, usually taking about 15-20 minutes.
Preparing the Shrimp
  1. While the rice is cooking, rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Sautéing the Shrimp
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them!
Making the Spicy Mayo
  1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with sriracha until you reach your desired level of spiciness.
Assembling the Bowls
  1. Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork. Portion the rice into bowls, top with the sautéed shrimp, sliced avocado, cucumber, and green onions. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve with soy sauce and lime wedges.

Notes

Use chicken or tofu as a protein substitute if desired. Ensure shrimp are spread out for even cooking. Feel free to add toppings like sesame seeds or fresh herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat carefully.
