DIY Shrimp Sushi Bowls
A DIY deconstructed sushi roll in a bowl.
Equipment
- 1 Rice Cooker
- 1 Skillet (Frying Pan)
Ingredients
For the Bowls:
- 1 lbs Shrimp (Raw)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tsp Soy Sauce
- 3 tsp Oelek Sambal (or to taste, *Sriracha works as a substitute)
- 2 cloves Fresh Garlic
- 2 Persian Cucumbers (cut to matchstick shape)
- 1 Carrot (shredded or cut to matchsticks shape)
- 4 sheets Seaweed Snacks (I really like Annie Chun's Wasabi Seaweed)
- 8 oz Frozen Edamame (Preferably out of the shell)
- 2 cups Cooked Rice (I use brown rice for health reasons, but I'm SURE any rice would be great here.)
For Spicy Mayo Dressing
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Sriracha
Instructions
For the Shrimp:
- Peel shrimp and take off the tails (if desired), then pat the shrimp dry with some paper towel until they're very dry.
- Now, place the shrimp into a bowl and add the garlic, soy sauce, and oelek sambal. Mix and allow the shrimp to marinate for 15 minutes.
- While your shrimp is marinating - Heat the frozen edamame per bag instructions and chop up your other vegetables.
- Next, heat up a saute pan with some olive oil and add the shrimp and sauce. *Be sure to spread them evenly so that the shrimp are laying flat on the pan (no overlap)* And cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes per side. *The shrimp should turn a bright pink color (they no longer will be see-through) and start to curl in on themselves.
- Construct the bowls! - Place the cooked rice into a bowl and top it with shrimp, cucumber, carrots, edamame, seaweed snacks, spicy mayo dressing (see below), or any other toppings that strike your fancy.
For the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix mayo and sriracha sauce together. Add small amounts of each until you develop the amount/flavor you want. It'll turn into a nice pink, salmon color. Drizzle over a completed bowl and enjoy!
Notes
For VEGETARIANS: These bowls can easily be made vegetarian by swapping out the shrimp for some crispy tofu or tempeh.
For VEGANS: Swap the shrimp out with the vegetarians then use a vegan mayo. (I like Hellmann's or Sir Kensington, if you're looking for brand options) they'll work nicely for the spicy mayo!)
