My dad used to always say to my brother, sister, and me, “dapat makisama kayo.” Over the years, I have found myself saying the same thing to my kids. Translating his wisdom from Tagalog to English, I would parrot, “you need to get along.”

It may not be easy, but families are all about compromises, are they not?

We compromise all the time. When the kids were younger, it was as simple as bedtimes and storytime. As they got older, chores were a popular point of negotiation. And of course, we can’t forget about mealtimes!

My goal when it comes to meals is to find a way to make everyone happy. And for us, shrimp tends to be the Switzerland of meals — it’s something that everyone can eat and agree on! Not to mention, it’s a relief for me since I’m doing the cooking.

These Thai-style Shrimp Bowls are not Swiss, but they certainly are the most delicious of neutral territories. As the cook, I always appreciate how quickly shrimp cooks (mere minutes!). And as a mom, I love that it’s packed with fresh veggies and wholesome grains!

How to Make Thai-Style Shrimp Bowls

HOW TO MAKE Thai-style Shrimp Bowls

One of the easiest ways to make Thai shrimp is in a simple stir-fry, and even easier still, is by using The Spice Hunter’s Thai Seasoning Blend! This blend of sesame seeds, chile pepper, coriander, onion, red pepper, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon oil is such a delicious way to impart Thai-style flavors to your favorite foods, whether you’re grilling, roasting, or in our case today, sautéing!

I love how it takes the guesswork out of the equation and simplifies the seasoning process in one jar. Now that we’re back to a busy fall season, I can use all the simplification I can get!

The seasoned shrimp cooks in minutes, and I blanch the vegetables to retain their freshness. Again, this takes minutes, if not seconds.

The dressing is an easy blend of coconut milk, lime juice, and fish sauce, and gets its kick from The Spice Hunter’s Mild Sriracha Global Fusion Rub. I also use a touch of The Spice Hunter’s Thailand Lemongrass, which adds another layer of flavor to the dressing.

Build your bowl with hearty brown rice, juicy shrimp, and fresh, crunchy veggies, and drizzle it with a simple, spicy coconut dressing. These bowls are bold, flavorful, and full of complex flavors, but they are so simple to make, I know it’s a dish that will make everyone get along at the table.

And that’s the goal, isn’t it?
