Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 sheets nori, cut into small squares
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • Pickled ginger and wasabi for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes. Let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this seasoning into the cooked rice and let it cool to room temperature.
  3. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy sauce. Toss the shrimp with soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil, then sear in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Mix cooked shrimp with the spicy mayo.
  4. Prepare nori squares and lay one as the base on each serving plate.
  5. Layer the sushi stack by adding a spoonful of sushi rice on the nori, then top with spicy shrimp, a slice of avocado, and cucumber slices. Repeat layers if desired for height.
  6. Garnish each stack with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
  7. Serve immediately with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.

Notes

For added crunch, sprinkle some tempura flakes between the layers or serve with a drizzle of eel sauce for extra flavor.
