Korean Shrimp Rice Bowls
These Korean Shrimp Rice Bowls are absolutely stunning!
Both in tastiness AND gorgeousness 🙂
For as amazing as they are, this recipe truly not a ton of work.
You can top this recipe with different veggies and add your own spin if you’d like… SOOO many different options for topping rice bowls!
We mixed everything together after admiring how they looked, drizzled lots of the homemade spicy mayo, and enjoyed every bite.
How to Make Korean Shrimp Rice Bowls
Peel and devein a pound of shrimp and pat them dry so the sauce sticks better.
Then make the sauce.
It’s 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup gochujang chili paste, 2 tablespoons honey, and a tablespoon each garlic paste, ginger paste, and lime juice.
The gochujang chili paste is pretty thick so it does take a minute to come together.
Put a half cup of this sauce in another bowl and add a half cup mayo.
Whisk this spicy mayo together and set it aside to drizzle over the bowls when serving.
Then toss the shrimp in the rest of the sauce.
You can cook the shrimp in either your air fryer or on a lined baking sheet in the oven.
Both will have the same cook time… 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
While the shrimp cooked I chopped a zucchini into little matchstick pieces.
Set a skillet over medium heat with a little vegetable oil.
Cook the zucchini for 3 to 5 minutes with a sprinkle of kosher salt and pepper.
Set the zucchini aside and add more vegetable oil and a cup of shredded carrots, kosher salt, and pepper.
The carrots will take around 3 minutes.
You could totally cook the zucchini and carrots at the same time, but I wanted a presentation with that WOW factor.
I recently got a rice cooker and I am in LOVE with it.
Super easy to make 4 to 5 cups of Jasmine rice for these bowls.
To serve, add the rice to each bowl first.
And I just set out all the toppings and everyone in my family made their own bowl.
This was my gorgeous Korean Shrimp Rice Bowl with all of my yummy toppings!
I went for the carrots, zucchini, sliced avocado, Sweet Pickled Red Onions, sesame seeds, and green onions.

Drizzle the spicy gochujang mayo from earlier, mix it all together, and dig in!
