Ingredients
- ½ pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Blackstone Sweet Teriyaki seasoning blend, optional
- Cooking oil of choice
- 2 (8-ounce) microwave pouches jasmine rice
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 lime wedges
- Yum yum sauce, sriracha, spicy mayo, or additional teriyaki sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with kosher salt, black pepper, and the optional sweet teriyaki seasoning blend.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with the teriyaki sauce and minced garlic until evenly coated. Let the shrimp marinate for 5–10 minutes.
- Prepare the jasmine rice according to the package directions.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of cooking oil.
- Add the seasoned shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque, pink, and cooked through.
- Divide the warm jasmine rice between two bowls.
- Arrange the cooked teriyaki shrimp and sliced avocado over the rice.
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
- Drizzle with yum yum sauce, sriracha, spicy mayo, or additional teriyaki sauce according to your preference.
- Serve immediately while the shrimp and rice are warm.
Notes
- Pat the shrimp dry before seasoning to help them sear properly in the skillet.
- Jumbo shrimp work especially well for rice bowls, but medium or large shrimp can also be used.
- Avoid overcooking the shrimp; they are ready when opaque and cooked through.
- Use microwave jasmine rice for a very quick meal, or substitute freshly cooked jasmine rice.
- Add cucumber, shredded carrots, edamame, or steamed broccoli for extra vegetables.
- Choose yum yum sauce, spicy mayo, sriracha, or extra teriyaki sauce to customize the bowls.
- Serve with fresh lime juice for a bright contrast to the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.
