Tender shrimp, seasoned rice, crisp vegetables, avocado, and creamy spicy mayo in a fresh 30-minute poke bowl.

# Ingredients:

For the rice and shrimp

01 - 2 cups cooked short-grain white rice, warm
02 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
06 - 1 teaspoon neutral oil, if sauteing
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the spicy mayo

08 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise
09 - 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha, plus more to taste
10 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
11 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
12 - 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
13 - 1-2 teaspoons water, as needed for drizzling

For the bowls

14 - 1 cup diced cucumber
15 - 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
16 - 1 large avocado, sliced
17 - 1 cup diced mango or pineapple
18 - 1/2 cup shredded carrot
19 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
20 - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
21 - 1 sheet nori, torn into small pieces or 2 tablespoons furikake

# Instructions:

01 - Stir rice vinegar, sugar, and salt together until dissolved. Fold it into the warm cooked rice, then let the rice cool for 5-10 minutes.
02 - Pat the shrimp dry and season with black pepper. Saute in oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, or simmer in gently boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until pink, opaque, and cooked to 145 F.
03 - Whisk mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, soy sauce or tamari, and sesame oil until smooth. Thin with water 1 teaspoon at a time until it drizzles easily.
04 - Dice the cucumber and mango, slice the avocado, shred the carrot, and slice the green onions. Keep everything bite-size for easy eating.
05 - Divide the rice among 4 wide bowls. Arrange shrimp, cucumber, edamame, avocado, mango, carrot, and green onions over the rice in sections.
06 - Drizzle with spicy mayo, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and torn nori or furikake. Serve right away while the toppings are crisp.

# Good to know:

01 - Serve with slightly warm rice and cool toppings for the best texture.
02 - Store components separately for meal prep and assemble just before eating.
03 - Use tamari instead of soy sauce if you need the bowl to be gluten-free.
