Looking for a light yet satisfying dish that screams fresh? Say hello to Citrus Shrimp Rice Bowls, the viral 2025 recipe that’s making waves across kitchens in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. Packed with juicy shrimp, fragrant rice, and a burst of citrusy brightness, this dish is the perfect harmony of tangy, savory, and refreshing.
What sets this bowl apart is the citrus marinade. A mix of lemon, lime, and orange juices gives the shrimp a bright, tropical punch—balanced beautifully with garlicky undertones and a touch of honey. When paired with fluffy rice and crunchy toppings like cucumber, avocado, or even pickled onions, the result is a nourishing bowl that feels as good as it tastes.
