Easy Shrimp Bowls
I’ve recently realized how important it is to have some easy meals that consist of things I keep on hand. When life hands me a crazy situation, I still like to have a meal on the table for my family, even if it’s just Mike and I. There is comfort and stability in a home cooked meal, and it grounds us.
These shrimp bowl are so many things.
- Balanced – protein, veggies, and carbs for a well rounded meal.
- Tasty – a great spicy (but not too spicy) meal, with lots of texture and flavors.
- Simple – with a little bit of advance prep, this meal can be on your table fast.
Ingredients needed for Honey Sriracha Shrimp Bowls:
I keep most of these items either stocked in my pantry or freezer. The only fresh ingredient is the veggies, but you could also use frozen in a pinch.
- Shrimp – You’ll need two pounds of shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed.
- Honey – This sweetener balances out the spicy sriracha sauce.
- Sriracha – Spicy on its own, but with the honey, it makes a great marinade.
- Vinegar – Just a couple of splashes of rice wine vinegar.
- Seasoning – I used a pinch of salt and pepper, but you could try other seasonings as well.
- Veggies – I love roasted broccoli with these bowls, but feel free to use anything you have on hand.
- Rice – We are pretty wild about white rice, so that’s what I keep stocked in my pantry.
How to make Honey Sriracha Shrimp Bowls:
- Prep shrimp. Peel, devein, and remove the tails from the shrimp. You can also buy the shrimp prepped, if desired.
- Make marinade. Combine the honey, sriracha sauce, rice wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well, and pour over shrimp, reserving about 1/4 cup. Let this sit for about 30 minutes.
- Cook shrimp. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil, and then some of the shrimp. Don’t crowd the pan. The shrimp should cook in just a few minutes. Be careful to avoid over-cooking. When it turns pink, it’s done. Cooking the shrimp may take several batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
- Cook veggies and rice. Meanwhile, roast veggies of your choice with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Cook rice according to package directions.
- Serve. Serve the shrimp over veggies and rice, and add a bit of the reserved marinade, if desired.
Pro-Tip: Eat leftover shrimp (if there are any leftovers) cold! So good. 😀
Other simple recipes you should try:

- Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wraps – This uses another easy marinade and has so much flavor!
- Sausage Potato Breakfast Frittata – I love having breakfast for dinner.
Kitchen Tools Used: (affiliate links)
- Cast Iron Skillet – This is my go-to pan in my kitchen, and great for sautéing the shrimp.
- Baking Sheet – Used to roast the broccoli.
- Instant Pot – I use my instant pot to make rice. Perfect every time.

So good and easy! I had rice already cooked from another dish and I roasted my veggies in the air fryer and it was so easy. I don’t know what I was afraid of. I used a cast iron skillet and I realized it was so much better than just a non stick skillet.( I am sure a non stick skillet is fine) My shrimp were firm and taste so good. I was debating between using the honey but yum, The flavor of the honey, rice wine vinegar and sriracha was perfect. What a great lunch or dinner!
I’m thrilled to hear this, Michelle! Thanks for letting me know.
What Sriracha sauce do you recommend to
Any sriracha sauce is fine.
1/4 cup of Sriracha? Is it really spicy or does the honey cut the spice?
We like things a little spicier than the norm, but I believe the honey cuts a lot of the spice!
So easy. Another favorite. Marinade is top notch. Knocked it out of the park again Sue.
Hi! I am planning on making this tonight. I only have 1 pound of shrimp. Should I cut the marinade in half?
You can definitely cut the marinade in half.
LOVE this dish! Easy, flavorful & one the entire family enjoys! I don’t own an iron skillet so I grilled the shrimp. Delicious! Thanks Suebeehomemaker?
