Cooking the Shrimp
Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat until pan is very hot. Add a drizzle of olive oil
Season the shrimp with salt and add to the pan in one single layer, making sure not to crowd. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side then transfer to a bowl
Pour half of the marinade over the top of the shrimp and let sit for 3 minutes
Pickling the Radish

Add the radish and let sit until ready to top the bowl
Building the Shrimp Poke Bowls

Pour the reserved marinade evenly over the top of the rice

Serve immediately
Notes
Eat your Shrimp Poke Bowls fresh, as soon as you make them for the best flavor and quality
Make the marinade and spicy sauce up to 5 days in advance. Store in the fridge in an airtight container
Buy raw shrimp. Do not buy pre-cooked shrimp. The texture, quality and overall flavor will not be the same
Try adding pineapple in addition to or in place of mango
Wasabi paste can be found in most local grocery stores. You can also order it from amazon HERE
Serve the rice warm
Use minute rice to save time and effort
Add or swap any veggies you like, edamame, nori and crispy wonton strips make nice additions
Try this recipe using sushi grade tuna or salmon in place of the shrimp. Marinate the fish while raw for 20 minutes then serve over the rice and veggies while raw
Save a little marinade to the side to pour over your rice!
