Instructions
1. Prepare the Shrimp
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and let the shrimp marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other components.
2. Cook the Rice
If you haven’t already cooked your rice, do so now. Use your favorite method, whether it’s a rice cooker, stovetop, or instant pot. Fluff the rice with a fork once it’s done, and set it aside.
3. Make the Spicy Mayo
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce until smooth. Taste and adjust the spice level by adding more sriracha if desired. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.
4. Cook the Shrimp
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then arrange the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
5. Assemble the Rice Bowls
Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of cooked shrimp, shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, radishes, avocado slices, and green onions.
6. Add the Finishing Touches
Drizzle the spicy mayo generously over each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, cilantro, or any additional toppings you like. Serve immediately and enjoy!
