Teriyaki Shrimp Rice Bowls
Description
The shrimp are patted dry and salted before being pan-fried in batches to ensure caramelization without overcrowding. Tossed with fresh lime juice, they are either served immediately or chilled for later use. The teriyaki sauce is made by boiling a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, garlic, cayenne, and water with dissolved cornstarch, then finished with sesame oil for depth.
Assembly involves placing cooked jasmine rice as a base, topped with shredded carrots, sliced avocado, green onions, sushi ginger, and nori strips for layered textures and flavors. The teriyaki shrimp bring a sweet and tangy profile that ties the bowl together.
Suggested additional toppings include salad greens and various vegetables, allowing customization. Shrimp with tails on is preferred but can be removed according to taste. The shrimp can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Instructions
Pan Fried Shrimp

- Heat a large pan with 2 - 3 tbsp of oil on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pan fry the shrimp. Cook each side for about 2 - 3 minutes, until there's some caramelization on each side. Cook in two batches to avoid over-crowding the pan.

Teriyaki sauce and Teriyaki shrimp
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the 2 tbsp of water and set aside.
- Place all the ingredients (except for the green onions and sesame oil), in a small pot or pan and heat over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and bring it to a boil.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and stir to thicken the sauce. Remove from the heat as soon as the sauce thickens to the desired consistency. Stir in the sesame oil.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little extra water to thin it out.
- To make teriyaki shrimp, place the cooked shrimp in a bowl. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and add the green onions. Toss to combine.
Sriracha Mayonnaise
- Mix the sriracha and mayonnaise together until well mixed. Keep refrigerated until needed.
