Start by cooking the jasmine rice. Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
While the rice is cooking, marinate the shrimp. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Add 12 pieces of peeled and deveined shrimp, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables while the shrimp cooks. Thinly slice 1 medium cucumber, julienne 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium carrot, slice 1 large avocado, and chop 2 scallions.
Assemble the poke bowls by dividing the cooked rice between two bowls. Arrange the cooked shrimp, sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, julienned red bell pepper, and julienned carrot around the rice.
Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and nori strips.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free shrimp poke bowl!
