  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

Ingredient Highlights

  • Shrimp: Shrimp is a lean, protein-packed option that pairs beautifully with the other fresh ingredients in the poke bowl.

  • Sushi Rice: Sushi rice is sticky and has a slightly tangy flavor, perfect as the base for poke bowls.

  • Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil: These ingredients provide depth and umami to the shrimp marinade, giving it that classic poke flavor.

  • Avocado and Veggies: The creamy avocado and crisp veggies add freshness and texture to each bite.

  • Toppings: Sesame seeds, radishes, and scallions bring crunch and an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

Instructions

Prepare the Rice:

  1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the sushi or jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the rice vinegar to add a slight tang. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Shrimp:

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (if using), and a squeeze of lime juice. Toss the cooked shrimp in the marinade and let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Prepare the Toppings:

  1. Prep the Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Slice the avocado, cucumber, and radishes. Shred the carrots and chop the scallions.

  2. Optional Toppings: If you’re using edamame, make sure they’re cooked and ready. You can also prepare any other additional toppings you’d like.

Assemble the Poke Bowl:

  1. Build the Base: Divide the rice between two bowls, spreading it out evenly as the base.

  2. Add the Shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp on top of the rice, arranging them in a visually appealing way.

  3. Add the Toppings: Arrange the sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, radishes, and edamame on top of the shrimp and rice.

  4. Sprinkle the Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowl for added crunch and flavor.

  5. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped scallions, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and pickled ginger if desired. Serve immediately.
