Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping vegetables. Shred cabbage and carrots, slice green onions, and ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and allow it to become hot.
- Add shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, fish sauce, and lime juice to create a quick dressing.
- Warm the cooked rice in a microwave or by quickly reheating in a pan to ensure it's hot.
- Divide the warm rice evenly among four serving bowls as the base.
- Top each rice bowl with cooked shrimp, shredded cabbage, carrots, and sliced green onions.
- Drizzle the prepared hoisin-fish sauce dressing over each bowl.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are warm and fresh.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and prepare the sauce in advance. This way, you can whip up the bowl in just minutes when hunger strikes!
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or snap peas for added crunch and color.
- Perfectly Cooked Shrimp: Keep an eye on the shrimp as they cook; they are done when they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking can make them tough, so aim for that sweet spot of 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Serve Hot: For the best experience, serve the bowl immediately after assembling while the rice is warm and the shrimp are fresh from the skillet.
- Add Extra Flavor: If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha to your dressing for an extra kick!
