  • 2 cups Cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice work well)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
Creamy Sriracha Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon Soy sauce or tamari

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
    1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined, 1 tablespoon Olive oil, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  2. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough quickly. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. While the shrimp is cooking or resting, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and soy sauce or tamari in a small bowl until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sriracha and sweetness to your preference.
    1/4 cup Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon Lime juice, 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon Soy sauce or tamari
  4. Divide the cooked rice evenly among serving bowls.
    2 cups Cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice work well)
  5. Arrange the cooked shrimp, steamed broccoli florets, shredded carrots, and sliced red bell pepper over the rice in each bowl.
    1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined, 1 cup Broccoli florets, steamed or lightly sautéed, 1/2 cup Shredded carrots, 1/2 cup Thinly sliced red bell pepper
  6. Drizzle a generous amount of the creamy sriracha sauce over the toppings. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
    1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  7. Serve the Delicious Shrimp Rice Bowls immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
    Lemon wedges (for serving)

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. It's best to store the components separately.
To reheat, gently warm components in a microwave on 70% power or in a skillet over low heat. Drizzle with sauce before serving.
Freezing is not recommended for cooked shrimp due to texture changes.
