Ingredients
- 2 lb large shrimp, peeled
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 5 cups coleslaw mix
- ¾ cup rice
- ½ English cucumber, sliced
- ⅔ cup shelled edamame
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 1 lime
From your pantry: 1 tbsp cornstarch, 2 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp mayo, 2 tbsp sriracha, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, ½ tsp garlic powder, salt.
Instructions
- Cook the rice and warm the edamame.
- Whisk the yogurt, mayo, honey, sriracha, garlic powder and a pinch of salt for the bang bang sauce. Toss the coleslaw with the vinegar, lime juice, 2 tbsp of the sauce and a pinch of salt.
- Pat the shrimp dry and toss with the cornstarch and ½ tsp salt.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the shrimp in one layer until golden and pink, about 2 minutes per side. Toss the hot shrimp with half the remaining sauce.
- Divide the rice among bowls and top with shrimp, slaw, edamame and cucumber. Drizzle with the last of the sauce and sprinkle with green onions.
Tip: A light dusting of cornstarch gives seared shrimp a crisp edge without breading or deep-frying.
