Having a handful of reliable ingredients on hand that can quickly turn into a complete meal is a total game-changer. Meals like this make it easier to stay consistent with balanced, nourishing food without spending hours in the kitchen or resorting to last-minute takeout.
These shrimp rice bowls are especially great for meal prep. A little planning at the beginning of the week goes a long way and makes lunches or dinners almost effortless. Most of the components can be prepared ahead of time, cutting down assembly to just a few minutes.
The rice can be cooked in advance—jasmine rice works beautifully here, but any favorite rice will do. Once cooked, it stores well in the fridge and reheats easily, forming the base of the bowl whenever it’s time to eat.
Fresh toppings like cucumber can be chopped ahead of time and stored in airtight containers. Pickled onions are another excellent prep-ahead ingredient since they actually get better as they sit, adding brightness and tang to every bowl throughout the week.
The spicy mayo sauce is another smart item to prep early. Mixed and stored in the fridge, it’s ready to drizzle whenever needed and instantly pulls the whole bowl together with creamy heat and flavor.
As for the shrimp, they can be cooked ahead if time is tight, but preparing them fresh the day of eating keeps them extra juicy and flavorful. Since shrimp cook so quickly, it’s an easy step to save for last.
Altogether, these Shrimp Rice Bowls with Spicy Mayo are the kind of meal that checks all the boxes: flavorful, flexible, meal-prep friendly, and perfect for stress-free lunches or dinners any day of the week.
