Cooking Steps
  1. Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and sauté for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1-2 tablespoons sriracha until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator.
  4. In a serving bowl, start with a scoop of rice, layer the shrimp on top, and drizzle spicy mayo over it.
  5. Top with sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, and green onions, plus sesame seeds if desired.
  6. Serve immediately, adjusting seasoning as needed.

For best results, avoid overcooking shrimp and rinse rice thoroughly before cooking. Customize with seasonal veggies and adjust sriracha to taste.
