  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 1 cup sushi rice
– 1 ½ cups water
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 avocado, sliced
– 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
– 2 green onions, chopped
– 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie)
– Nori sheets, cut into small squares
– Black sesame seeds (for garnish)
– Soy sauce (for serving)


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.
