• Olive oil or sesame oil
• Garlic
• Creamy sriracha sauce (sriracha mixed with mayonnaise or a creamy base)
• Cucumber
• Carrots
• Avocado

Directions

1. Prepare the base: Cook rice according to package instructions, or prepare your preferred greens if using a salad base.
2. Season the shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with a bit of olive oil or sesame oil, a splash of soy sauce or tamari, lime juice, and minced garlic. Let sit for a few minutes.
3. Cook the shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium‑high heat and cook the seasoned shrimp for a few minutes on each side until they are pink and just cooked through. Remove from heat.
4. Make the creamy sriracha sauce: In a small bowl, combine sriracha and mayonnaise (or your chosen creamy base). Adjust to your heat preference by adding more or less sriracha.
5. Prepare the veggies: Slice the cucumber, carrots, green onions, and avocado into bite‑sized pieces suitable for bowl toppings.
6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the rice or greens among serving bowls. Add the cooked shrimp on top, then arrange the vegetables, avocado, and other toppings around the bowl.
7. Drizzle with sauce: Spoon the creamy sriracha sauce over each bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover shrimp and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat the shrimp in a skillet over low heat until warm and warm the rice as needed. Store the creamy sriracha sauce and fresh vegetables chilled and add them to the bowl just before serving, as fresh produce is best served cold.

FAQs
