Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce. Stir until smooth and creamy, then set aside.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  3. Prepare rice according to package instructions. If using leftover rice, reheat it with a splash of water for fluffiness. Aim for about 2 cups of cooked rice per bowl.
  4. Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with the cooked shrimp and arrange sliced vegetables around the shrimp.
  5. Drizzle the bowls with the spicy mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
