This recipe will make two types of bowls: tuna or spicy shrimp. If you would prefer to make just one, just leave out the other ingredients. Not only are the spicy shrimp bowls delicious, they are great for those that don’t like to eat raw fish!

Try out these fresh & delicious sushi bowls to have all the flavors of sushi rolls without all of the work. Read on for how to make these easy sushi bowls!

I love the Furikake seasoning from Trader Joe’s. This seasoning contains dried nori seaweed, salt, sesame seeds and kelp powder. Sprinkling on the top of your sushi bowls will give you just the right salty ocean flavor!

If you enjoy pickled ginger and wasabi, serve on the side of your bowl.
