Ingredients:
For the Shrimp:
1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
For the Bowl Base:
2 cups cooked jasmine rice, cooled (or substitute brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
Toppings:
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
½ cup shredded carrots
1 cup edamame, cooked and shelled
2 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp sesame seeds (black or white, or a mix)
1 sheet of nori, sliced into thin strips (optional)
For the Sriracha Mayo:
½ cup mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions:
Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sriracha Mayo
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey (if using). Adjust the Sriracha to your preferred spice level. Transfer to a squeeze bottle for easy drizzling.
Step 4: Assemble the Poke Bowl
Divide the cooked rice between two or four bowls. Arrange the toppings in sections over the rice: pineapple, avocado, cucumber, carrots, edamame, and cooked shrimp.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the top. Add nori strips for an extra Hawaiian touch if desired.
Step 5: Add the Sriracha Mayo
Drizzle the Sriracha mayo generously over the bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Customization:
Protein Variations: Swap shrimp with tuna, salmon, tofu, or chicken for a different take on the bowl.
Add More Flavor: Drizzle soy sauce, ponzu, or extra sesame oil over the bowl for a savory boost.
Low-Carb Option: Use cauliflower rice or a bed of mixed greens instead of jasmine rice.
Extra Crunch: Add crispy fried onions, wonton strips, or crushed macadamia nuts for texture.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair your Hawaiian Shrimp Poke Bowl with a refreshing tropical drink, like pineapple lemonade or coconut water, for the ultimate island-inspired meal.
