Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sushi rice (uncooked)
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 ripe avocado (sliced)
- 1 small cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar into the cooked rice. Fluff with a fork gently and allow it to cool slightly.
- While the rice is cooling, prepare the shrimp. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil and cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sriracha and mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your desired spice level.
- Once the shrimp are cooked, toss them with half of the sriracha mayo mixture until well coated.
- Assemble your sushi stacks starting with a layer of sushi rice at the bottom of your serving plate.
- Add a layer of the spicy shrimp on top of the rice.
- Place a few slices of avocado and cucumber on top of the shrimp.
- Repeat the layers until you’ve reached your desired height, finishing with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
If your sushi rice sticks too much, try wetting your hands while assembling the stacks.
