This shrimp bowl with spicy mayo drizzle is my new favorite lunch or quick dinner. It is healthy, packed with flavor and easy to pull together fast. It is especially easy when I have most of the ingredients on hand. I like to keep shrimp in the freezer and boxes of Trader Joe’s frozen rice. And Pickled onions have become a staple in my house! Have you tried them? I have linked the super easy recipe here. We always have a glass jar of them in the fridge at all times! They are fabulous in bowls like this, included in sandwiches, Crunchwraps, and sprinkled on tacos! Trust me–they are great on these shrimp bowls, and they really do make almost every meal better!
What you need for the shrimp bowl with spicy mayo drizzle bowl:
*Shrimp
*Rice (I like to use frozen brown or jasmine rice from Trader Joes)
*Arugula (you can leave off the greens if you want–but I like them)
*Shredded Carrots
*Diced cucumbers
*Pickled onions
*fresh cilantro/ parsley (optional–great if you have them)
*Mayonaise (I use light or avocado mayo)
*honey
*sriracha
*lemon juice
*salt
This meal is so quick and easy but tastes divine! A great way to get in your veggies too! I think the best part is the spicy mayo drizzle! YUMMMMM! The perfect meal for a hot summer day! Enjoy!
