Irresistible Spicy Shrimp Poke Bowl
Poke bowls, basically a deconstructed sushi originally from Hawaii has been taking the culinary world by storm. They’re customizable, delicious, perfect for Summer, and super easy to make.
A few months ago, a new healthy “poke bowl” restaurant opened up near my home. I went to check it out and was impressed by all the great flavors and textures I was tasting with each bite.
Constructing this masterpiece is an art, you start with the foundation: hot sushi rice, brown rice or a vegetable “zoodle”, then the veggies, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, edamame, seaweed salad, green onions, cilantro, etc, the protein, fish, shellfish, chicken or beef and finally, a sauce to coat everything. Eel, soy, spicy mayo, or any other Asian flavor you may like.
Honestly, I am not used to eating cubes of raw fish. It has a weird texture in my mouth. That’s why I made my bowl with cooked shrimp coated in soy sauce, sesame oil, and a bit of spicy mayo. The result is a super delicious dish that was put together in 15 minutes or less.
My favorite part is the contrast between the hot rice and shrimp and the cold veggies and sauce. Like the French call Chaud-Froid. It tastes so fresh and it is a healthy meal for the entire family.
If you make it for kids, customize the veggies to their taste or better yet, create a veggie bar and let them choose the sauce, the type of bottom (rice, quinoa, zoodles), the sauce for the shrimp and the vegetables they want on top.

I have never been aware of butter and garlic being incorporated into sushi. Why didn’t you use plain shrimp?
Because I wanted a little more flavor. You can certainly use plain cooked shrimp for your poke
