Shrimp and Rice Bowl Recipe
Description
The Shrimp and Rice Bowl features peeled, deveined shrimp pan-cooked quickly in olive oil. After removing the shrimp, the pan sauce is prepared by boiling and thickening a mixture of soy sauce, honey, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and cornstarch slurry resulting in a sticky, flavorful coating. The shrimp return to the skillet to absorb the sauce evenly before serving.
Accompaniments such as steamed white rice, pickled carrots, sliced cucumber, jalapeños, pineapple, various onions, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and red pepper flakes allow assembling a personalized bowl with varied textures and flavors balancing spice, acidity, sweetness, and freshness.
Sriracha mayo can be made separately by mixing mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce to add richness and heat. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to three days, facilitating quick meals.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet set over medium-high heat.
- In two batches, cook the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until pick. Transfer shrimp to a bowl, then add water, soy sauce, honey, garlic, sesame oil and ginger to the skillet, whisking to combine. Bring mixture to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining water. Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until thick and pasty.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. (If you like a lot of sauce in your rice bowl, double the ingredients for the sauce.)
