The Best Shrimp Sushi Bowl
Who doesn’t love a good sushi bowl…. they always hit the spot! We are a HUGE fan of all things sushi (like, we could eat it every day) so we are excited to bring you this new combination. This wonderful bowl of absolute deliciousness is SO EASY to make. Only 30 minutes and your are done (give or take a few minutes for the sushi rice, but that can also be made ahead of time). The only things you have to cook are the shrimp and the rice! And you can easily leave out the spicy garlic-chili sauce, if you aren’t feeling the spice, or leave the shrimp out all together if you are vegetarian/vegan. This summer, we will definitely have this rice bowl on repeat!

What You Will Need
- cooked sushi rice – you can find a few different varieties of sushi rice at your local grocery store, but we also have tutorials on how to make sushi rice (stovetop) or make Instant Pot sushi rice!
- large shrimp – we love using large, raw shrimp that have their shell and tails removed, but feel free to use your favorite! If you use frozen shrimp, make sure you fully thaw them before cooking.
- garlic-chili sauce – this is where the spiciness comes in! Use as much or as little as you want, it could even be omitted completely.
- avocado oil – just a little bit in the hot pan to sauté the shrimp.
- fresh mango & avocado – the absolute best fresh ingredients that are the perfect compliment to the hot, spicy shrimp!
- fresh cilantro – brings a light and refreshing flavor to this shrimp rice bowl.
- serving: soy sauce & a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
How To Make Spicy Shrimp Sushi Bowls
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to cook the sushi rice, any way you want. Then toss the shrimp in the garlic chili sauce, bring a large skillet to a medium heat, and cook the shrimp until they are pink. Finally, get a plate or large bowl, add some rice, shrimp, and top with all the fresh ingredients!
Best Ways To Serve A Shrimp Sushi Bowl
This is where you can really get creative! We chose to serve this spicy shrimp in a rice bowl with avocado slices, diced mango, and fresh cilantro. You could also serve with diced cucumbers, edamame, julienne carrots, or even some jalapeño slices if you really want to spice things up.
