Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup sushi rice
1 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for rice)
½ teaspoon salt
1 avocado, sliced
1 small cucumber, julienned
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Sushi Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in rice vinegar and salt, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque. Stir in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and sriracha. Toss to coat and cook for an additional minute.
- Assemble the Sushi Stacks: Layer seasoned sushi rice in individual serving glasses or bowls using a round mold, pressing gently. Add the spicy shrimp mixture on top of the rice. Layer avocado and cucumber on top.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions for extra flavor and color.
- Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
Notes
For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of sriracha or replace it with a milder chili paste.
If you prefer, use tempura shrimp or other seafood like tuna for variation.
Make the spicy mayo sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
