Like this Chopped Thai Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing.…I could bathe in that dressing! The peanut dressing is good on pretty much ANYTHING! Oh!

INGREDIENT NOTES
Shrimp: You can really use ANY kind of shrimp for this bowl. However, I prefer wild caught 50-60 count shrimp. The smaller shrimp cook up so quickly, which is what I always go for on busy weeknights!
Cabbage: I love using purple cabbage because it’s so darn pretty, but to make this even quicker, just use prepackaged slaw mix ((I am all about less chopping))!
Rice: ANY rice works here. Jasmine, brown, quick cooking, instant, cauliflower, you name it. You can use sushi rice as well for that more authentic “poke bowl” vibe 🙂 I just prefer whatever I happen to have on hand, which is usually Jasmine.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No. Raw shrimp is not safe to eat. The vast majority of shrimp we get here in the United States is farm-raised in other countries and can carry several types of harmful bacteria when uncooked. Shrimp should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145.
“Poke” simply means “chunks” or “slice.” A typical Hawaiian poke bowl typically includes “chunks” of super fresh, sushi grade raw fish (usually tuna) tossed in a soy-sesame dressing, served over rice. In this case, our “poke” or “chunks” will be shrimp 🙂
Yes, absolutely! These bowls area great option for meal preps as the veggies/shrimp and rice keep well in the fridge for about 3 days. Just keep the avocado and sauce separate and top your bowls with both when you are ready to eat!
This poke bowl is great for meal preps! Store assembled bowls (without sauce or avocado) in air tight containers or meal prep containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Toss in sauce and avocado when you’re ready to eat.
The sauce for this poke bowl is simply a sriracha mayo. You just whisk up mayo, sriracha, a little rice wine vinegar and a little sugar–easy breezy!

This shrimp poke bowl recipe is soooo flexible! In fact, the ingredients I list are just suggestions! Feel free to add what you like and take out what you don’t! Here are some delicious variations:

Easy breezy to make a vegetarian option! Swap out the shrimp for tofu or a plant-based protein. OR swap the shrimp for extra veggies like red pepper, shredded carrots, pickled veggies, radishes and extra avocado!

RECIPE TIPS & TRICKS
- I like to batch-cook rice ahead of time so I always have some on hand. I also LOVE the instant rice microwave packets in a pinch….they are so handy to have around. The Jasmine Rice packets from Trader Joes are awesome!

Question. Is it good to meal prep with this for the 4 servings? Love this recipe. Thank you for sharing
Hi Lori! I don’t like to meal prep this meal for any more than 3 days–shrimp in the fridge for more than 3 days isn’t that great in my humble opinion! That being said, just divide the recipe into 3 servings and you’re good to go! Make sure the leave the avocado and sauce on the side 🙂 XO ~ Casey
Made the low-carb version of the poke bowl and it was amazing! I loved the sriracha mayo too!
I could eat this right now! Perfect for spring time and I love all those crunchy salad veggies too.
This is going to be done on repeat in my house! Everyone loved it, and I love all of the veggies I can get my kids to eat! Such a great recipe!
My mouth is watering. This is just so perfect. I love shrimp and all those lovely veggies too. Thanks for this gorgeous recipe.
This shrimp bowl looks absolutely mouthwatering! So colorful, festive and delicious. Can’t wait to try this recipe ♥
This was so delicious. My husband said “Better than restaurant quality!” Thanks for making me look good. I made a couple of subs using what I had in the fridge. To make up for not having cabbage or edemame, I chopped up Anaheim peppers, corn and broccoli. I noticed that carrots are not listed in the step by step recipe, so I missed them in the dish. For the rice, I added lime and cilantro for even more freshness. Thanks for a great recipe that has lots of flexibility!
Yay! Your subs sound so delish, Lori! That is exactly how I cook most of the time–whatever I have on hand!I will try it with the Anaheim peppers–that sounds so good! ((and THANK YOU for the oops in the step by step! Corrected!)) xoxoxo
