Method
 

How to Make Spicy Shrimp Rice Bowls
  1. Clean and peel the shrimp if needed. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Prepare your cooked rice using your preferred method, aiming for fluffy grains.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  4. In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha until you reach your desired level of heat.
  5. Slice your cucumber, jalapeño, and carrots. Steam the edamame pods until tender and bright green.
