2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
1 big sheet of nori, cut in quarters or 4 small sheets of nori cut in quarters

Sorghum Poke Bowl:

  1. Add sesame oil to a medium sauce pan over medium heat.

  2. Place shrimp in pan, cook for 1 minute on each side then add lemon juice, coconut aminos, water and cook for 30-60 seconds on each side until shrimp just turns pink, 145 °F. Place shrimp on a plate and add sorghum to the pan and mix until warm.

  3. To build your bowl, add 3/4 cup of sorghum, 4 oz of shrimp, 1/4 cup red cabbage, 1/4 cup edamame, 1/4 cup mango, 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers, 1/4 of avocado slices, 1/4 nori sheet placed behind the shrimp or on top of the bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds. Drizzle with 1/4 of the spicy avocado dressing.

  1. Frozen or thawed mango can be used.

  2. Coconut aminos are made from the sap of the coconut palms. The sap is fermented and then blended with sea salt. This sauce is similar in taste to soy sauce however a bit sweeter in flavor and it is lower in sodium and is gluten free.
