Step 1: Marinate the Shrimp
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sriracha Mayo
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and honey (if using). Adjust the Sriracha to your preferred spice level. Transfer to a squeeze bottle for easy drizzling.
Step 4: Assemble the Poke Bowl
- Divide the cooked rice between two or four bowls. Arrange the toppings in sections over the rice: pineapple, avocado, cucumber, carrots, edamame, and cooked shrimp.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions over the top. Add nori strips for an extra Hawaiian touch if desired.
Step 5: Add the Sriracha Mayo
- Drizzle the Sriracha mayo generously over the bowl. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Customization:
- Protein Variations: Swap shrimp with tuna, salmon, tofu, or chicken for a different take on the bowl.
- Add More Flavor: Drizzle soy sauce, ponzu, or extra sesame oil over the bowl for a savory boost.
- Low-Carb Option: Use cauliflower rice or a bed of mixed greens instead of jasmine rice.
- Extra Crunch: Add crispy fried onions, wonton strips, or crushed macadamia nuts for texture.
