How to make Citrus shrimp rice bowls

1. Whisk together the orange juice, Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, 60 ml of oil, and 15 ml of lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside half of the dressing in a small bowl for serving.

2. Add the shrimp to the remaining sauce and toss to coat; season lightly with salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, use a paring knife to remove the peel and white pith from the oranges, taking care not to remove too much flesh; discard the peel and pith. Slice the oranges into 1.5 cm thick rounds, then cut into 2.5 cm pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the cucumbers, scallions, and the remaining 5 ml of lime juice; toss to combine. Season with salt.

4. Heat the remaining 30 ml of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Working in batches if needed, cook the shrimp until charred in spots and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.

5. Divide the rice among bowls. Top with the shrimp, citrus salad, and avocado, then drizzle with the reserved dressing.
