This shrimp bowl recipe is packed with tender shrimp, fluffy rice, fresh toppings, and spicy mayonnaise for an easy weeknight meal. It’s colorful, flavorful, and easy to customize with whatever veggies you have on hand.
Flavor: Every bite has a balance of sweetness and savory, with mild spiciness, garlic shrimp, crunchy veggies, and a creamy, tangy drizzle. Save time: Take shortcuts with vegetables in the produce section to make things even faster. Make ahead: Make dinner ahead of time by making the sauce, rice, and toppings ahead of time. Presentation suggestion: Serve these as a build-your-own dinner so everyone can customize the bowl with their favorite toppings.
Ingredient memo
Shrimp: Medium or large shrimp are best because they cook quickly and stay juicy. Patting the raw shrimp dry before marinating them will help them cook better. Fresh shrimp or thawed frozen shrimp both work well. Sauces: Soy Sauce: Soy sauce adds flavor, but can be replaced with tamari if desired. Honey: Honey balances the sweet-tang and helps caramelize the shrimp. Sriracha: Sriracha provides a bit of tanginess, but you can adjust it to your taste. Rice: White rice is the perfect base for this shrimp bowl because it absorbs the sauce without interfering with the toppings. You can also use brown rice, jasmine rice, cauliflower rice, etc. Edamame: Shelled edamame adds color, texture, and protein. Using frozen edamame makes preparation easier. Vegetables: Cucumbers, carrots, red cabbage, and avocado add fresh flavor, texture, and color. Or replace the vegetables with a ready-made coleslaw mix to add crunch without extra chopping.
variations
Swap the protein: Replace shrimp with salmon, chicken, tofu, or rotisserie chicken. Make it spicier: Add extra Sriracha to your marinade or spicy mayonnaise for a spicy shrimp bowl. Add some sweetness: Add mango or pineapple for a sweet and spicy twist. Replace the sauce: Replace mayonnaise with Yum Yum sauce, sesame ginger dressing, or lime vinaigrette.
