Made this tonight! So easy and SO much freaking flavor. Loved it. Cannot wait to make this a staple in our house. Costco sells good size shrimp that have the tails off!! $20 for 2 lbs! The best!
would you be able to use frozen already cooked shrimp for this? I have a bag from TJs in the freezer and I'm looking for easy and delicious ways to use it...
Made it tonight! I added pickled onions (subbed rice vinegar for red wine vinegar)--so good! We had no shrimp leftover, so I’m gonna marinate some tofu in the leftover sauce for lunch tomorrow, with leftover rice + veg and roasted seaweed sheets on the side!
Oh my goodness our family LOVED this! Hubby doesn’t eat shrimp or cucumbers so we subbed salmon and zucchini. Both were phenomenal. It felt like a good, clean meal. We added pickled red onions and some white sauce too. I will definitely add this one to our dinner rotation. Thanks!!
LOVE THIS! Made it tonight and my husband and I devoured it. My two kids (2 and 4) picked at various parts, but really hit their groove when we started making "polka dot rice balls" by mixing black sesame seeds into the rice and smooshing it into balls in our hands. It got utterly out of control, rice all over the floor and all over them, but they had such a blast and ate SO MUCH! We even made "secret chicken balls" and hid a piece of chicken in the rice ball. Wild times over here in motherhood. We decided that next time, we would make the balls ahead of time to avoid such a mess. 10/10 recommend the actual recipe and the rice balls (water on your hands to prevent the rice from sticking to them!)
Well these were a huge hit. My four year old declared that the “rice tastes just like candy” and the 2 year old ate four shrimp and said the cucumbers tastes like “apple cider!” For two kids that are fairly picky this was an enormous win! I knew I’d love it - and I did and can’t wait for leftovers.
Made a seaweed salad and also put a bit of that in the bowl. The shrimp are fantastic and would be good even if you didn’t make a bowl—maybe with soba noodles and the cakes. Had never made seaweed salad myself—is easy. Beware—one of those tiny 1.7 oz packs of wake me makes a large bowl after hydration!
Woooooow this one is so flavorful and good. And so freaking quick to prepare -- thank you! Caroline, I just keep putting ALL of your recipes in our weekly meal plan because they're just so delicious. You're the best!
This was really easy and really yummy! With little kids who lose it right before dinner, I love a meal I can do part of the work ahead of time (but not too far, because I don’t have life together like that). My husband must have told me eight times how good it was and my toddler ate so many cucumbers before dinner. He’s never eaten a cucumber before. It was that good.

Made this tonight with salmon instead of shrimp (inspired by your somewhat recent insta stories) - so delicious!! 😋

it makes me so happy that you made it work by subbing two of the main ingredients!!!
Your recipes and guidance give me confidence!!
really makes my day!
Do you think I could thaw the shrimp IN the marinade? 🤔 I know it would get a little watery but would make it so I could marinate longer…
Yes!!
I didn't read ahead and used all my sauce to marinade the shrimp ! can I boil it after and still use it as a sauce? or should I just make some more?
Boil for 5 mins and use! If it gets too thick just stir in a splash of water
Looks delicious, is it possible to make with precooked shrimp? Marinate the precooked shrimp and heat?
This is delicious! If my kids won't eat avocado, is there another way to incorporate some fat into this deliciousness?

Making this this weekend. My kids are spice wimps. Just leave the sriracha out?
use a tiny bit for flavor! a bit won't be too spicy. like 1 tsp

A new absolute fave! I didn’t have sriracha or any hot sauce so used Mike’s Hot Honey throughout and it was delish. Thanks Caroline!!!
