- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
Rice and Veggies
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice, cooled
- 1 avocado, sliced

- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup radishes, thinly sliced
Dressing and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 sheet of nori, cut into thin strips
Instructions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and sriracha (if using) until well combined.
- Assemble the Poke Bowls: Divide the cooled sushi rice evenly among four bowls. Arrange avocado slices, cucumber, edamame, shredded carrots, and radishes around the edges. Place the cooked shrimp in the center of each bowl.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle the prepared dressing over each bowl. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and nori strips for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Serve the shrimp poke bowls immediately, allowing everyone to mix ingredients together as they eat for a fresh and tasty meal.
Notes
- For a spicier bowl, increase the amount of sriracha or add sliced jalapeños.
- If you prefer, substitute shrimp with tofu or salmon for a different protein option.
- Make sure the sushi rice is fully cooled before assembling to avoid wilting the fresh vegetables.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce the salt content if desired.
- You can prepare the shrimp marinade a day in advance for enhanced flavor.
