Teriyaki Shrimp Rice · Andrew T.

Pan-frying shrimp to golden caramelisation creates the perfect foundation for this vibrant East Asian-inspired bowl. The high heat develops a subtle sweetness on the shellfish before they get tossed in a glossy, homemade teriyaki sauce enriched with garlic and mirin.

The sauce itself comes together in mere minutes, thickened with cornstarch to create a sticky glaze that clings to every curve of the seafood. A splash of toasted sesame oil adds nutty depth, whilst a handful of fresh spring onions provides bright contrast against the savoury-sweet profile.

Building Your Bowl

Assembly is wonderfully flexible and invites personal flair. Start with fluffy jasmine rice as your base, then layer crisp shredded carrots and creamy avocado for varied texture. Tuck the glazed shrimp prominently on top, allowing the warm sauce to seep into the grains below.

Finish with crisp nori sheets torn into delicate strips, adding an authentic coastal umami that ties everything together. Each spoonful delivers a satisfying medley of temperatures and tastes, making this ideal for a relaxed yet impressive evening meal.
