I've been on a bit of a yum yum sauce kick lately, and this bowl has become one of my favorite ways to use it. It combines buttery garlic shrimp, fluffy quinoa cooked in chicken broth, crisp vegetables, and creamy avocado for a lunch or dinner that feels fresh but still filling.

I have been finding excuses to put my Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad on everything lately. Tacos, bowls, and now this chicken dish. The warm sliced chicken paired with the cool corn salad and creamy yum yum sauce is one of my favorite combinations for lunch.

I love hibachi restaurants, especially the shrimp with yum yum sauce. I kept craving those flavors at home and started wondering if I could make my own version that felt a little easier for a weeknight. That’s how this bowl came together. It has the buttery rice, grilled shrimp, and creamy yum yum sauce I love, but in a simpler, cozy-at-home version.
