Instructions
Creating your Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
2. Season the Rice: In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour over the cooked rice and gently fold to incorporate. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Shrimp: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
4. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine Sriracha and mayo to create a spicy sauce.
5. Slice the Vegetables: While the shrimp are cooking, slice the avocado and cucumber. Set aside.
6. Assemble the Stacks: Using a small ring mold or a cup, layer ingredients. Start with a layer of sushi rice, then add a layer of shrimp, followed by avocado slices, cucumber slices, and top with a drizzle of spicy sauce.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle black sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for extra flavor and crunch.
8. Serve: Carefully remove the mold and repeat the process to create additional stacks.
9. Enjoy: Serve your Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks alongside soy sauce for dipping.
