Equipment

1 Large skillet
1 medium saucepan

Ingredients
 

For the rice bowl

  • 2 cups uncooked rice I prefer jasmine
  • 1 lb. raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium cucumber peeled and diced
  • 1 large avocado diced
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions
  • 1 cup edamame unshelled and cooked
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil to cook shrimp
  • 1 lime

For the spicy cream sauce

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (hot chili sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons water to thin out the sauce to drizzle

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice according to package directions.
    2 cups uncooked rice
  • Make cream sauce: In a medium sized bowl combine sour cream, sriracha, lime juice, garlic powder, water, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
    ½ cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons lime juice, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons water, 1 tablespoon sriracha (hot chili sauce)
  • In a large skillet, melt butter and place the shrimp in. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp over medium heat. About 1 minute per side. Shrimp cooks quickly and you want them to turn from opaque to pink.
    1 tablespoon butter, 1 lb. raw shrimp
  • Place shrimp in a serving bowl. Squeeze half of a lime (about 1 tablespoon) juice over the shrimp and toss. Set aside.
    1 lime
  • Spoon hot rice into a bowl. Top with shrimp, diced cucumbers, avocado, edamame, and French-fried onions. Drizzle with spicy cream sauce.

Notes

Additional toppings: jalapenos, sliced carrots, snap peas, sesame seeds, bell peppers, pickled ginger.
For a non-spicy sauce, you can use soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.
