Sweet Heat Shrimp Tempura Bowls

• In a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, jam, Sriracha, half the garlic powder, 1 tsp water (2 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. • Melt 1 TBSP butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring, until softened, 1 minute. • Add rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, cut broccoli florets into 1-inch pieces if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving), salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until golden brown and crispy, 15-20 minutes. • Carefully toss with half the scallion greens.

• Meanwhile, rinse shrimp* under cold water; pat very dry with paper towels. Season with salt. • In a large bowl, combine tempura mix, remaining garlic powder, 1⁄3 cup cold water (²⁄3 cup for 4 servings), and salt (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4). TIP: If needed, add more water 1 TBSP at a time until it reaches a pancakebatter-like consistency. • Stir shrimp into batter until fully coated.

• Heat a ¼-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. • Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, working in batches, add coated shrimp in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes on the first side and 1-2 minutes on the second side. • Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Immediately season with salt and pepper.
