Ingredients

Scale

For the Shrimp

  • 1 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

For the Spicy Mayo

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

For Serving

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber slices
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
  • Soy sauce or tamari for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spicy Mayo: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  2. Season the Shrimp: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if desired.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  4. Assemble Your Bowls: In serving bowls, start by layering the cooked rice. Top with the cooked shrimp, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and chopped green onions.
  5. Drizzle with Sauce: Finish each bowl by drizzling the spicy mayo over the ingredients. Optionally, add soy sauce or tamari for extra umami flavor and sprinkle with sesame seeds for crunch.

Notes

  • Marinate shrimp briefly in olive oil and spices to enhance flavor before cooking.
  • Use high-quality, creamy mayonnaise to elevate the spicy mayo sauce.
  • Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
  • Customize bowls with additional fresh vegetables or extra heat as desired.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat using oven, microwave, or stovetop methods to preserve texture and flavor.
