Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 8 oz shrimp, cooked and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 tempura shrimp, cooked according to package directions
  • 2 Persian cucumbers (or 1/2 English cucumber), diced

  • 1½ to 2 cups cooked rice

  • 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage (optional)
  • Optional toppings: furikake, fried shallots, thinly sliced green onion
  • Optional sauces: soy sauce, wasabi, tempura sauce (induced with shrimp)

Instructions

  1. Cook the shrimp (air fryer): Pat the shrimp dry, toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then air fry at 400°F for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then chop.
  2. Cook the tempura shrimp: Prepare according to package directions and set aside.
  3. Make the spicy mayo shrimp: In a bowl, mix mayo, sriracha, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and green onion. Add the cooked shrimp and toss to coat.
  4. Prepare the bowl: Add rice to the bottom of a serving bowl. Arrange the vegetables around the rice.
  5. Assemble: Top with spicy mayo shrimp and tempura shrimp.
  6. Finish and serve: Garnish with furikake, fried shallots, or green onion. Add soy sauce, wasabi, or tempura sauce as desired. Serve right away.

Notes

  • Serving suggestion: 
    For a lighter meal, use about ¾ cup of rice, 3–4 oz of shrimp, 2–3 tempura shrimp, and 1 cup of vegetables per person.
    For a heartier meal, use about 1 cup of rice, 4–5 oz of shrimp, 3–4 tempura shrimp, and 1½ cups of vegetables per person.
  • Sauce balance: About 2 tablespoons of spicy mayo plus 1–2 tablespoons of additional sauce per person gives a well-balanced bowl.
  • Use what you have: This is a flexible recipe. Swap or add vegetables based on what’s in your fridge.
  • Shrimp options: You can use only spicy mayo shrimp or only tempura shrimp. Imitation crab also works for a California roll-style bowl.
