Shrimp Poke Bowl

Print Recipe

A fresh and vibrant Hawaiian-inspired bowl featuring succulent marinated shrimp, seasoned sushi rice, and a rainbow of crisp vegetables and creamy avocado.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp black or white sesame seeds
  • ½ sheet nori, cut into thin strips
  • 2 Tbsp sriracha mayonnaise (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice: Combine rinsed rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff and season with a splash of rice vinegar if desired; keep warm or let cool to room temperature.
  2. Quick-poach the shrimp: Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking; pat dry.
  3. Make the marinade: In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger.
  4. Toss shrimp in the marinade and let sit 5–10 minutes while you prep the toppings.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide rice between two serving bowls. Arrange marinated shrimp, edamame, cucumber, avocado, radish, and scallions on top.
  6. Finish: Drizzle with remaining marinade and a little sriracha mayo if using. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and nori strips. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Sushi rice tastes best slightly warm or at room temperature—avoid refrigerating it.
  • Swap in brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for different nutrition profiles.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Add mango, seaweed salad, or pickled ginger for additional color and flavor.
