Enjoy my sweet and spicy hot honey shrimp bowls, a super easy and flavorful dish that’s a must-try! Packed with succulent shrimp in a hot honey marinade, and paired with a bright and fresh mango avocado salad. I like to serve mine over a bed of rice for an easy weeknight dinner that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

what makes this recipe great ⤵️

What really sets these hot honey shrimp bowls apart is the incredible fusion of flavors and textures. The shrimp is seasoned with hot honey, chili garlic sauce, and fresh garlic cloves, paired with a fresh and bright mango avocado salad, and served alongside a bed of rice offering a delightful blend of spicy, sweet and fresh.

Ingredients You Need

For the Shrimp

I like to use large or jumbo raw shrimp for these bowls because they look so gorgeous in these bowls, but any size shrimp will work (just know that the smaller the shrimp, the less time it will take to cook). I’m seasoning this shrimp with garlic, garlic chili sauce, salt — and, of course, hot honey! It’s a simple combination that’s perfectly sweet, spicy and garlicky.

For the Mango Avocado Salad

This simple salad pairs perfectly with the sweet and spicy shrimp. You need avocado, mango, cucumber, red onion and a simple homemade vinaigrette. Toss it all together in 5 minutes flat.

For the Rice

I’ve made this recipe with white rice, brown rice and even my cilantro lime rice. Choose your own adventure here and prepare your go-to rice!

Easy Substitutions and Swaps

Choosing shrimp: I used uncooked jumbo shrimp in these bowls, but a smaller variety of uncooked shrimp will also work. If you choose a smaller size shrimp, just know it will impact the cook time.

Make it spicier: If you want to amp up the spice in these shrimp bowls, you can mix in a pinch or two of red pepper flakes with the hot honey.

Make is less spicy: If you don’t love spice, but want to keep the flavor of this dish, replace the hot honey with plain honey. My mom loves this option!
