Ingredients

Units

Bowl Ingredients: 

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup edamame (steamed or thawed if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup baby cucumbers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • Green onion (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tsp sesame seeds

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry and season with ½ tsp salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. In a separate bowl, whisk cornstarch with the remaining ½ tsp salt.
  2. Coat shrimp in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. Set aside on a plate.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry shrimp until golden brown and crispy (about 2–3 minutes per side). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust heat to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, gently toss fried shrimp with the sauce, reserving a few spoonfuls for drizzling.
  6. In each bowl, start with a bed of rice. Arrange edamame, cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage on top. Add sauced shrimp and drizzle with extra sauce. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen shrimp, just make sure they’re fully thawed and dried before frying.
  • Customize your bowl with extras like avocado, pickled ginger, or crispy wonton strips.
