  • When selecting the shrimp, look for ones that have a vibrant pink color and a mild, sweet smell.
  • When picking cucumbers, look for ones that feel heavy for their size and have a bright, vibrant green color.

  • Substitute the ketchup with barbecue sauce for a smoky flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that it adds a unique smoky flavor that complements the spicy sriracha sauce.
  • Substitute the tamari sauce with soy sauce for a salty flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that it adds a salty flavor that complements the sweetness of the ketchup and the spicy sriracha sauce.

Garlic Sriracha Shrimp Replace the tamari sauce with 2 tablespoons of garlic sauce. Increase the sriracha sauce to 4 tablespoons, and add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the sauce.



Coconut Rice: A fragrant and flavorful side dish to complement the spicy Sriracha Shrimp. The creamy coconut milk and nutty rice provide a nice contrast to the heat of the shrimp.


Cucumber Salad: A refreshing and light side dish to balance out the heat of the Sriracha Shrimp. The crunchy cucumbers and zesty lemon juice provide a bright contrast to the shrimp.
