This recipe reminds me of beachside dinners — the scent of grilled shrimp in the air, a cool breeze, and the joy of building your own rice bowl just the way you like it. With fresh veggies, tender shrimp, and a creamy spicy mayo on top, these bowls are a beautiful blend of flavor and fun. Quick to make and easy to love!
For the Bowl:
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
1 avocado (sliced)
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cucumber (sliced)
½ cup edamame (optional)
2 green onions (sliced)
Sesame seeds (for topping)
For the Shrimp Marinade:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Spicy Mayo:
¼ cup mayonnaise
1–2 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lime juice
Marinate the Shrimp: Mix shrimp with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
Cook the Shrimp: Sauté in a pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
Make the Spicy Mayo: Mix mayo, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Build the Bowl: Add rice to each bowl, then top with shrimp, avocado, carrots, cucumber, edamame, and green onions.
Finish: Drizzle spicy mayo over everything and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Use pre-cooked rice for quicker prep.
Add mango or pineapple for a sweet twist.
Make the spicy mayo ahead and store in the fridge for up to a week.
