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.

 

This poke bowl is an explosion of fresh, spicy, and tangy flavors that will make your dinner a culinary escape to paradise!
