Poke with shrimp is a hearty and healthy option for lunch or dinner. In the recipe, it is advisable to use Basmati rice or quinoa, as well as shrimp of any size (small, medium or king). Seafood should be fresh: with an elastic and translucent shell with a solid structure. You can significantly save time on cooking if you boil the rice in advance.

Poke with shrimps - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of vinegar if I don't have rice vinegar?

Yes, you can substitute apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar for rice vinegar, but reduce the quantity slightly as they can be more acidic.

How long can I store shrimp poke in the fridge?

Store poke in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, but it's best enjoyed fresh due to the delicate texture of the ingredients.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely! Replace shrimp with marinated tofu or tempeh, and use a plant-based fish sauce alternative or extra soy sauce for umami flavor.

Do sushi rice and regular rice work the same in poke bowls?

Sushi rice is stickier and slightly sweeter, which works best, but short-grain white rice can be a decent substitute if needed.

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of fresh?

Yes, just thaw completely and pat dry before boiling to ensure even cooking and better texture.

What are good low-carb alternatives to rice in poke bowls?

Try cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or mixed greens as a base to reduce carbs while keeping the dish flavorful.

Can I add other vegetables to this poke bowl?

Absolutely! Cucumber, edamame, or shredded carrots add crunch and nutrition without overpowering the dish.

How can I adjust the portion size for meal prep?

Divide ingredients evenly into containers, keeping dressings separate until serving to maintain texture.

Is it safe to freeze assembled poke bowls?

Freezing isn't recommended, as the textures of avocado, shrimp, and veggies will degrade. Prep ingredients separately if needed.
