How to Make Asian Shrimp Bowl With Rice

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 pound of shrimp, 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers (any color), and 1/4 cup of shredded carrots.
  2. Microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, or until shrimp is thawed and vegetables are slightly softened, stirring halfway through.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite Asian dressing (e.g., sesame ginger), 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Microwave on medium for another 3-5 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cover the bowl to keep the shrimp mixture warm.
  5. While the shrimp mixture cooks, prepare 2 cups of cooked rice according to package directions.
  6. Divide the cooked rice into 4 serving bowls.
  7. Stir 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro into the warm shrimp mixture.
  8. Spoon the shrimp and vegetable mixture over the rice in each bowl and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
