Why You’ll Love Healthy Shrimp Bowl
This Healthy Shrimp Bowl is a weeknight superstar. I love bowls for dinner because they’re totally customizable. You can set out all the ingredients (leftovers work great!) and everyone can prepare their own bowl as they like it. Feel free to use whatever protein, veggies, and sauces you love, or offer a couple of easy options. If you prefer not to eat 🍚 rice, you could absolutely sub-in couscous or quinoa (or even cauliflower rice to keep this dish low carb). The options are endless, but the results are always delicious.
How to Prepare Healthy Shrimp Bowl
🍚 Cook 1/4 cup dry jasmine or sushi rice as per the package instructions in a rice cooker or on the stove. 🍤 Defrost the shrimp as per the package instructions. Mine were jumbo tiger shrimp so I cut each shrimp into 5 pieces and added them to a bowl. 🥄 Add the oil to the shrimp and seasonings to taste and then mix it well. 🔥Now, heat up a skillet on the stove. ⏲️ Add in the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, until the shrimp curls up and changes color. 🌶️ Now, set the shrimp aside, drizzle on a teaspoon of spicy mayo, and then mix. 🥕 Thinly slice, or julienne, a carrot and cucumber, and set aside. 🥒 Now, assemble the bowl by first adding the cooked rice, then some cucumber and carrot slices, and then top with the saucy shrimp. 😋 Drizzle on some extra spicy mayo, garnish with chives, and enjoy!
