Let's dive into how to make this delightful meal.
Cook the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or medium pot, combine the rice with 1.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
Fluff the Rice: Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork. Set aside and keep warm.
Cucumber Salad
In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly. Garnish with sesame seeds.
Cook the Shrimp
Season the Shrimp: In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, sesame oil, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil. Once hot, add the shrimp in batches to not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 1 minute on each side until they barely turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside. Once all the shrimp are done, add back to the pan and add in 2 tbsp of soy sauce and deglaze the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds and remove from heat.
Combine Sauce
Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, mayo, soy sauce, garlic powder, lime, and sriracha. Stir until well blended. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Assemble the Poke Bowls
Divide the Rice: Evenly distribute the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls.
Add the Shrimp: Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked shrimp.
Add the Toppings: Arrange the shredded carrots, Persian cucumber slices, and edamame around the shrimp.
Drizzle the Sauce: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top of each bowl.
Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, scallions and enjoy!
