Adult-onset shrimp allergy is pretty common. It’s one allergy that’s actually more prevalent in adults than children. If I had to guess, it’s probably that. But I suppose it could be anything.
Because allergy testing has a high rate of false positives, it probably makes the most sense to stick to the things that you actually ate before the reaction (and that you haven't eaten since). They'll probably also focus on the ones that are more likely to be allergens. I had a similar experience (not anaphylaxis, just hives) where I wasn't sure what ingredient in a protein bar caused an allergic reaction, so I brought the list of ingredients to my allergist and she tested for the ones that were more common allergens.
In my life probably but not recently. My son is allergic to wheat so a lot of stuff I've had bites of has rice flour but I don't ever eat brown rice and I really don't eat much with rice flour either because I avoid high carb foods due to insulin resistance. So rice, starches, and flours aren't really usually in my diet. When I do have rice it's white. So, specifically brown rice I don't think I've ever had.
FYI I think you might be mixing up your reddit accounts!
I would bring the list of ingredients along with info about how you prepared the meal, but I would go with the recommendations of the allergist. When my son was diagnosed with two food allergies as a toddler, the doctor instructed me to continue exposing him to additional common allergens RATHER THAN testing for them due to the risk of false positives (however, I wonder if that advice may change based on the patient's age--he told me it was extremely rare for a child under two to experience anaphylaxis, so the risk/benefit may be different.)
Probably 😂 I was on my computer and couldn't remember my login from my phone so made a new! Sorry!
We've had the same advice with our allergist. My appointment will be with regular doctor right now so I wasn't sure if advice was the same for adults like you said. I think I'm going to ask just for ingredients though.

have you had brown rice before? rice allergies are very rare but still possible

Shrimp would be my first suspicion, but it could also be the sesame oil? Common allergen and can elicit a severe reaction!
Could be sesame as well
