Bang Bang Shrimp Rice Bowls
Description
The Bang Bang Shrimp Rice Bowls start with medium to large pre-cooked shrimp coated in cornstarch and deep-fried until golden and crisp. This frying process in hot oil gives the shrimp a light, crunchy outer layer while keeping the interior tender.
Meanwhile, a bang bang sauce is prepared by whisking together mayonnaise, sriracha, rice vinegar, and sugar for a creamy, sweet, and spicy flavor that complements the shrimp’s texture.
To assemble, the cooked rice serves as a base topped with the bang bang shrimp, shredded cabbage blend, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions, adding freshness and crunch. More bang bang sauce is drizzled on top before serving immediately.
This dish works well for a satisfying lunch or dinner and can be adjusted by switching to grilled shrimp or riced cauliflower for lower calorie options as noted in the recipe. Nutrition per serving depends on preparation method.
