Tips for Making the Best Ahi Tuna and Shrimp Poke:

  • Use the freshest possible ingredients. The quality of your poke will be directly affected by the quality of the ingredients you use. Make sure to use sushi-grade ahi tuna and shrimp, and opt for fresh vegetables that are crisp and vibrant.
  • Cut the tuna and shrimp into small, even pieces. This will help the poke to be more evenly distributed and easier to eat.
  • Don't overmix the poke. Overmixing can cause the poke to become mushy. Gently toss the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Serve the poke immediately or chill it for later. Poke is best served fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 24 hours. If you are chilling the poke, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
  • Garnish the poke with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for poke include avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad, and green onions.
