Spicy Shrimp Sushi Bowls

By Julie Andrews |

I love a hearty, delicious and fresh meal that pretty much doesn’t require cooking. Spicy Shrimp Sushi Bowls is one of those meals.

I mean, you do have to cook the brown rice. But you can also buy it pre-cooked or batch cook it at the beginning of the week and use the leftovers to make these sushi bowls. I like to use my Instant Pot to make a bunch, but it can easily be cooked on the stove. 

Everything else in these absolutely delicious bowls is no-cook!

The shrimp can be purchased frozen at the seafood market – all you have to do is thaw them and take the tails off. Then they’re marinated in soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, Sriracha and fresh ginger (YUM). While the shrimp marinade, the vegetables are tossed in rice vinegar and pickled until the shrimp is ready.

Then you’re ready to assemble! The brown rice, marinated shrimp, pickled veggies and avocado are layered in bowls and drizzled with spicy mayo and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It’s so very delicious and SO easy to make!

Also, watch the video below on how to make brown rice in the Instant Pot AND on the stove!

Notes

Cooking Tips:

  • You can cook brown rice in just 15 minutes in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker! Simply combine 1 cup brown rice with 1 ¼ cups water, set to sealing and cook on manual high pressure for 15 minutes with a quick release. To cook brown rice on the stove, combine 1 cup brown rice with 2 cups water in a saucepan and cook on medium-low, covered, for 45-50 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally.

 Substitution Tips:

  • Try cooked lump crab instead of shrimp.
  • Add cooked shelled edamame for a higher protein bowl.
