Citrus Shrimp Rice Bowls

From the kitchen of Carly

Bright citrus and a spicy-sweet sriracha glaze make these shrimp bowls impossibly easy and deeply satisfying. Fresh orange segments and crisp cucumber provide textural contrast, while the jumbo shrimp stay tender and packed with flavor. A weeknight win.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 12 Tbsp. Sriracha
  • 11 Tbsp. honey
  • 12 tsp. soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
  • 11/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 11 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. fresh lime juice
  • 11 1/2 lb. jumbo or large shrimp, peeled, deveined
  • 1Kosher salt
  • 12 large oranges, preferably different varieties (such as Cara Cara or Valencia)
  • 12 Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise, sliced crosswise 1/2" thick
  • 14 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1Steamed rice and sliced avocado (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Whisk orange juice, Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside half of dressing in a small bowl for serving. Add shrimp to remaining sauce and toss to coat; season lightly with salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, using a paring knife, remove peel and white pith from oranges, being careful not to remove too much of the flesh; discard. Slice oranges into 1/2"-thick rounds, then cut into 1" pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and add cucumbers, scallions, and remaining 1 tsp. lime juice; toss to combine. Season with salt.

  3. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over high. Working in batches if needed, cook shrimp until charred in spots and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

  4. Divide rice among bowls. Top with shrimp, citrus salad, and avocado and drizzle with reserved dressing.
