2cupscooked jasmine, basmati, sushi, or brown rice
⅔cupshelled edamame, warmed or chilled
1avocado, sliced or cubed
Fresh mango or pineapple, cubed
Sesame seeds
Green onion, thinly sliced
Drizzle of sriracha sauce, optional for spice
Instructions
Make the cucumber salad. In a small bowl, toss the cucumbers, rice vinegar, honey, chili flakes, and salt. Set to the side.
Make the dressing. Mix all the sauce ingredients together and place to the side.
Make the shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and generously season with salt and pepper. Heat a large saucepan with the butter over medium heat. When hot, add the shrimp in a single layer to the pan. If your pan is too small, do this in batches, or else the shrimp will not get crispy. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
Assemble the bowls. Add the rice to four bowls, along with your cucumber salad, avocado, green onions, mango or pineapple, and shrimp. Garnish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of the poke sauce.
