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.
