This Keto Shrimp Poke Bowl is such an easy and delicious weeknight dinner that you can make in about 30 minutes.

Shrimp is great to use when you are looking for a quick and healthy meal because it cooks really quickly.

All the flavors of this delicious Keto Shrimp Poke come together with a spicy sriracha aioli sauce!

If you are a fan of sushi bowls but want to keep your carbs low, then this keto shrimp poke bowl is the perfect option because it uses cauliflower rice instead of rice to cut the carbs.

You could also make my Spicy Salmon Poke or my Trader Joe's Poke Bowl into a keto version using the same concept.

Why I am over the spoon for this recipe:

It is a quick and easy low-carb lunch or dinner
It is loaded with fiber and plenty of various vegetables
It is full of flavor and easily customizable

What do you need to make a Keto Shrimp Poke Bowl:

Shrimp - uncooked shrimp is best so you can control how much the shrimp cooks. Fresh or frozen is fine (I usually use frozen!) but just allow the shrimp to thaw first if using frozen.

Cauliflower rice: Fresh or frozen also works here!

Vegetables: such as cucumber, carrots, radishes, edamame, red cabbage

Rice vinegar: you will use this for a quick pickle of vegetables

Mayonnaise: for your aioli

Soy sauce: use Tamari or coconut aminos if gluten-free

Sriracha: adds that amazing spice!

Optional additions: sesame oil, cilantro, avocado, lime juice, or sesame seeds

How to make Keto Shrimp Poke Bowls

Start by cutting cucumber and place it in a shallow bowl, covering it with rice vinegar for a quick pickle while you cook.
Pat your shrimp dry! Season and cook, then set aside.
Cook cauliflower rice according to instructions.
Make your sriracha mayo sauce in a small bowl.
Build your Keto Shrimp Poke Bowl by layering cauliflower rice, shrimp, pickled vegetables, sauce, and optional garnishes.

Variations:

You can make this keto shrimp bowl using any protein of choice, it works well with tuna, salmon, or tofu if you are vegetarian.

If you are not keto or need a heartier option for others in your home, make a side of white rice and build a bowl with white rice instead of cauliflower rice.

Not a fan of cauliflower rice but still want to make a keto poke bowl without cauliflower rice? Shiritaki Rice is a great option! I buy this on Thrive Market or Miracle Noodle is a great brand.

You could also use cabbage as a base and omit any rice options.

Storage:

Store leftovers without the sriracha sauce and add that when you are ready to serve.

Eat leftovers within 3 days and store them in the refrigerator.

This does not freeze, unfortunately.

Can I use raw shrimp for a poke bowl?

While traditional poke bowls are made with sushi grade raw tuna, shrimp must be cooked to eat and you cannot eat raw shrimp.

Where did Poke Bowls originate?

A traditional poke bowl originates from Hawaii and is pronounced "Pokay."

How do I know shrimp is cooked?

Shrimp starts to curl as it is cooked. Make sure to remove the shrimp from the heat when it starts to make a C shape and before it turns to a circle.
