Instructions
Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Teriyaki Shrimp Rice Bowls
Begin by preparing the rice according to the package instructions, typically involving rinsing the rice and boiling it in water.
While the rice is cooking, place a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Let the oil heat up for about a minute.
Once the oil is hot, add 1 cup of shrimp to the pan in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
Pour in ½ cup of teriyaki sauce over the shrimp, stirring to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Next, introduce 4 tablespoons of your mixed vegetables into the pan with the shrimp. Stir them in and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they're heated through.
To serve, scoop a generous portion of the cooked rice into each bowl. Top the rice with the shrimp and vegetable mixture.
Finish your dish by garnishing with 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
Notes
Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
