Today we’re making Honey-Sriracha Shrimp Bowls! This recipe is so flavorful, super easy to make, and best of all, loaded with protein (41 grams of protein each serving). I want high-protein meals to feel fun and sustainable, especially if you’ve been finding it hard to meet your protein goals. I think you’re going to love this one!

Few tips ✮⋆˙

• Don’t skip washing your rice !! Rinse until the water runs clear – it will remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
• After cooking, let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes. Your time will be fully and perfectly cooked.
• Please do not skip patting your shrimp dry. It’s an important step that helps them sear nicely and prevents them from steaming in the pan instead of searing.
• Adjust cooking time based on shrimp size. Smaller shrimp will cook faster, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
• Whisk the sauce very well before pouring it over the shrimp – especially with our addition of cornstarch, we want to make sure it’s mixed in very well.

Here’s a video to guide you along the process ✮⋆˙

Instructions

 

Rice ✮⋆˙

• Rinse 150g of dry long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
• In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 300 grams of water, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of turmeric for a bit of color.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
• once cooked, keep covered and let your rice rest for 10 minutes.

Shrimp ✮⋆˙

• Pat your shrimp dry with a paper towel.
• Heat 10 grams of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes on one side. I used jumbo shrimp, so mine needed the full two minutes – but if your shrimp is smaller, you may only need 30 seconds – 1 minute on each side.
• Flip the shrimp and cook for another 2 minutes, or until opaque and pink.
• Pour the sauce over the shrimp, toss to coat, and let it simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
• Prepare your toppings, and quickly mix together you sauce drizzle

Lastly ✮⋆˙

• Divide the cooked basmati rice into two bowls as the base. Arrange the toppings, sliced avocado, sliced scallions, toasted sesame seeds and cucumber.
• Place the cooked shrimp on top of the rice.
• Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the bowl or serve it on the side.
• And you're done :,)
