Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

2. Cook the Shrimp:

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.

Toss with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink and lightly browned.

Remove from heat and toss lightly with 1–2 teaspoons of the spicy mayo to coat.

Add a base of warm rice or quinoa.

Top with shrimp, broccoli, edamame, cucumber (or zucchini), avocado, and spinach/kale.

Drizzle extra spicy mayo over the top.

Tips

For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayo.

Add pickled ginger or shredded carrots for a fresh twist.

To make it extra crisp, toss shrimp in a little cornstarch before pan-searing.
