This meal (and by extension you) will be so popular, you'd think they're going out of style. You're on your way to being an influencer!

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz. shrimp, working in batches if necessary.

  • If using mahi-mahi, halve any larger pieces to match smaller pieces. Pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan with 2 tsp. olive oil over medium-high heat until mahi-mahi reaches minimum internal temperature, 3-4 minutes per side.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, to a large non-stick pan over medium heat with 2 tsp. olive oil. Cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

  • If using scallops, pat dry. Cook in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with 2 tsp. olive oil until scallops reach minimum internal temperature, 1-2 minutes per side. Scallops will vary in amount as they are portioned by weight. Don't worry, the sweet flavor and tender texture will be the same.

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Bring a small pot with rice and 11/4 cups water to a boil.

    Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    While rice cooks, continue recipe.

    Pat shrimp dry. Combine shrimp, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl until completely coated. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In another mixing bowl, whisk or vigorously stir mayonnaise, ponzu, and a pinch of pepper until combined. For a smoother sauce, place mayonnaise in bowl first, then slowly stir in ponzu. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bell peppers and white portions of green onions to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly charred, 3-5 minutes.
