Method
- Rinse jasmine rice 2-3 times until water runs clear. Combine 1 cup rinsed rice with 1.5 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to lowest heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- While rice cooks, prepare ingredients. If needed, peel and devein shrimp and pat completely dry with paper towels. Chop bell peppers and snap peas into bite-sized pieces. Slice green onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha until smooth and evenly colored. Adjust sriracha amount to taste. Set aside.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add shrimp in a single layer without crowding. Cook for 2 minutes without moving until bottom side turns pink. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until completely pink and opaque. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add chopped bell peppers and snap peas. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender but still crunchy. Drizzle soy sauce over vegetables during the last 30 seconds and toss to coat.
- Divide rice between two bowls. Top with cooked shrimp and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle spicy mayo over the top in a zigzag pattern. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Store components separately in airtight containers in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Store spicy mayo separately. Reheat shrimp and vegetables gently to avoid overcooking.
Shrimp Tips: Don't overcook - they cook very quickly (3-4 minutes total). Overcooked shrimp become rubbery. They're done when pink and opaque.
Rice Variations: White rice, brown rice, sushi rice, or cauliflower rice can substitute for jasmine rice.
Spicy Mayo Customization: Start with 1 tbsp sriracha for mild, increase to 3 tbsp for extra spicy. Add lime juice for extra tang.
Mayonnaise Options: Kewpie mayo adds richer, slightly sweeter flavor popular in Asian cuisine.
Vegetable Variations: Edamame, shredded cabbage, cucumber, carrots, broccoli, or avocado work well.
Protein Alternatives: Chicken, tofu, salmon, or scallops work with same preparation. Adjust cooking times.
Flavor Boosters: Add minced garlic or grated ginger while cooking shrimp for extra depth.
Gluten-Free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Meal Prep: Easily doubled or tripled. Store components separately for quick assembly throughout the week.
