Spicy Bang Bang Shrimp Kaua'i Style

Spicy Bang Bang Shrimp Kaua'i Style

Prep: 15 minutes Cook: 10 minutes Serves: 2

This is one of those bowls that feels indulgent but is actually super simple. Sticky, spicy shrimp, fluffy rice, fresh crunchy veggies… and that creamy sweet heat sauce that brings it all together.

Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 3 tbsp mayo
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sriracha
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped greens (kale or spinach)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Toss the shrimp with the cornstarch until they are lightly coated. This helps give them that slightly crispy texture once cooked.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of water or broth. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are pink and slightly golden.
  4. Pour in the tamari and chili flakes and let everything cook together for another minute so the shrimp are nicely coated and flavorful.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, and lime juice until smooth.
  6. Turn off the heat and toss the shrimp in the sauce until fully coated and glossy.
  7. To build the bowl, add the rice, carrots, and greens, then spoon the shrimp over the top. Finish with sesame seeds and green onions.
