  4. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, lime juice, lime zest, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to make the sauce.
  5. Assemble Bowls: To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top with grilled shrimp, sliced bell peppers, diced cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the sweet chili lime sauce over each bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Crushed red pepper flakes are optional and can be adjusted based on desired spice level.
