Instructions

To make the rice

Place the rice and water in a small lidded pot over low heat and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).
Remove the pot from the heat but allow it to sit and steam with the lid on for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork.

To make the shrimp

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season them with salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Preheat and oil the grill, or heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Cook the shrimp, turning, until they are slightly brown and crispy on the edges and opaque all the way to their centers (approx. 4 to 8 minutes).

To make the bang bang sauce

Whisk the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper together in a small bowl until smooth.

To assemble the bang bang shrimp bowls

Fill the bottom of the bowl with rice and place the veggies on top.
Add the cooked shrimp and drizzle with bang bang sauce.
Garnish with scallions.
