Honey Sriracha Shrimp Bowls

I love bowls of all varieties. Whether it’s buddha bowls, poke bowls or my burger bowls with special sauce, bowl meals are a great way to incorporate variety into your diet.

Generally, bowl meals contain a protein, a starch and a variety of vegetables, toppings and usually a sauce or two. These honey sriracha shrimp bowls contain tender shrimp, a sweet and spicy sticky sauce, rice and your favorite toppings, such as avocado, shredded carrots and edamame.

Since shrimp cooks up in no time, these bowls take no more than 20 minutes to throw together. They make a great lunch, dinner or meal prep recipe.

Don’t like edamame or avocado? Swap out the toppings for your favorite ones. I’ve included a list of optional toppings below. This recipe is flexible, and allows you to get creative and build a bowl that’s perfect for you!

Toppings for honey sriracha shrimp bowls

Ingredients

Shrimp: Argentinian shrimp are my personal favorite type of shrimp. Make sure they are peeled and the tails are removed.
Honey Sriracha sauce: The sweet and spicy sauce is made with sriracha, honey, lime juice, ginger and garlic.
Rice: Use whatever type of rice you like best. I used brown rice.
Avocado: Fresh, creamy avocado compliments the spicy sauce.
Carrots: Use shredded carrots.
Edamame: I used frozen and steam in a bag edamame.

Optional Toppings

  • Cabbage
  • Cucumber
  • Mango
  • Pineapple
  • Scallions
  • Sesame Seeds

A pot of brown rice

What You’ll Need

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Saute pan
  • Tongs

How to Make Honey Sriracha Shrimp Bowls

In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, sriracha, lime juice, ginger and garlic. Add 1lb. of raw peeled shrimp to the sauce and mix until all the shrimp are coated in the sauce.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add marinated shrimp and all the sauce to the pan. Cook shrimp 2-3 minutes on each side, or until shrimp is opaque and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Increase temperature and bring remaining sauce to a simmer. Simmer sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened. Pour thickened sauce over shrimp and toss to coat.

Divide the rice evenly between four serving bowls. Top with shrimp, avocado, carrots and edamame, or preferred toppings. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

Tips

  • If you want a sweeter sauce, add more honey. If you want a spicier sauce, add more sriracha.
  • Cook the shrimp just until pink and opaque. Shrimp do not take long to cook at all. If you overcook the shrimp, they will be tough and chewy!
  • Make this recipe ahead for meal prep. These bowls are delicious warm or cold! Add avocado right before enjoying.
  • If you love sauce, drizzle the bowls with a spicy mayo or hoisin sauce.
  • For the quickest recipe, use: instant rice, prepped shrimp and grated ginger (comes in a tube!)

Substitutions

Sriracha: Use Sambal or Gochujang in place of sriracha. You will get a slightly different but still delicious and spicy!
Honey: Use maple syrup or monk fruit syrup in place of the honey.
Rice: Use white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice or a mix of any of them.
Toppings: Use your favorite toppings and garnishes from the list below or add your own!

    This looks so good and nutritious! Do you think this sauce would work well with tofu?!

      Yes! Fantastic idea! Get the tofu nice and crispy in an air fryer or oven then toss with the sauce.
