Spicy Shrimp Cucumber Boats
  1. Start with 1 lb wild shrimp, peeled and deveined. Pat dry and season with 1 tsp avocado oil, salt, pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp oregano.

  2. Sear in a hot pan for 60–90 seconds per side until just cooked through.

  3. Make your rice of choice. I stirred in 2–3 tbsp rice vinegar and ½ tsp powdered monk fruit to give it that sushi rice flavor.

  4. Slice a large English cucumber in half and scoop out the middle.

  5. Spoon in the rice, top with ⅓ to ½ diced avocado, 4–5 shrimp, and sliced jalapeño.

  6. Drizzle with spicy mayo. I used the Spicy Yum Yum Sauce from pg. 201 of my cookbook, but a quick version is: ½ to 1 cup mayo, 1 tbsp sriracha, ½ tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp monk fruit or sugar, 2 tsp garlic powder, a splash of mirin and cayenne, and salt to taste.

  7. Finish with everything bagel seasoning and a little soy sauce, or furikake perpas, and anything else you like.
