Instructions
Prepare the rice
If using fresh rice, cook 2 cups of jasmine rice according to package instructions, then let cool completely.
Pro tip: Day-old rice works best as it’s drier and absorbs flavours better.
Mix the sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey until well combined.
Pro tip: Adjust the level of sriracha to your preferred spice tolerance.
Cook the shrimp
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and slightly charred, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Pro tip: Ensure shrimp are in a single layer for even cooking.
Combine shrimp and sauce
Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp in the pan. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly, then remove from heat.
Pro tip: Let the sauce simmer for a minute to thicken slightly.
Add rice to the pan
Add the cooked rice to the pan with the shrimp and sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through, about 5 minutes.
Pro tip: Break up any rice clumps for even saucing.
Garnish and serve
Transfer the dynamite rice to serving bowls. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Pro tip: Serve immediately for the best flavour and texture.
Tips & Tricks
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavour and texture.
