Ingredients

For the Spicy Mayo

½ cup mayonnaise preferably Japanese
2 tablespoons Sriracha plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice optional

For the Shrimp

1½ pounds shrimp large or jumbo, peeled and deveined, tails removed or left on for presentation
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ teaspoons fresh lime juice

For the Rice Bowls

4 cups warm cooked jasmine rice
1 cup seedless cucumber diced or sliced
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 cup shelled edamame
2 green onions thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Taste and add more sriracha to desired spiciness. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and toss with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly oil a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for around 2 minutes per side. The shrimp should be opaque by the end. During the final 30 seconds, add the lime juice to the shrimp and toss to combine. Sear in two batches if your skillet isn't large enough to hold all the shrimp.
Assemble the rice bowl by dividing the rice, shrimp, cucumber, carrots, and edamame into 4 servings, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions. Drizzle with the spicy mayo or serve on the side and serve with a lime wedge.
