Description

Crispy Rice with Spicy Shrimp Salad: crunchy rice base under spicy shrimp, creamy avocado & jalapeño – a flavor-packed recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crispy rice:

  • 1½ cups short grain sushi rice

  • 2 teaspoons mirin

  • 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

For the spicy shrimp salad:

  • ¾ pound large (21‑30 count) shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ¼ cup diced green onions (scallions), white and light green parts

  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 3 tablespoons kewpie mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

  • 1 tablespoon diced fresh jalapeño (seeds in or out depending on heat preference)

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

For serving:

  • 1 medium Hass avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced

  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced

  • 2 tablespoons eel sauce (optional)

  • Soy sauce, as needed

Instructions

  1. Cook the sushi rice. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Cook per package instructions or in a rice cooker. Fluff, stir in mirin, and let cool.

  2. Shape and chill rice. Press rice into a compact 8×8-inch block, chill for at least 30 minutes, then cut into smaller pieces.

  3. Fry the crispy rice. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry rice pieces until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Drain.

  4. Cook shrimp. Pat shrimp dry, sauté in oil for 1–2 minutes per side until opaque. Cool slightly, chop into bite-sized pieces.

  5. Make spicy shrimp salad. Combine shrimp, green onions, panko, kewpie mayo, sriracha, jalapeño, and soy sauce. Mix and taste to adjust.

  6. Assemble and serve. Arrange crispy rice on a plate. Top with shrimp salad, avocado slices, and jalapeño. Drizzle with eel sauce and serve with soy sauce.

Notes

Use short grain rice for ideal stickiness and crisping.

Chill the rice well to firm it for frying.

Don’t overcrowd the frying pan; maintain oil temperature.

Adjust the heat of the salad with sriracha and jalapeño to taste.

Avocado and eel sauce are optional but add rich depth and visual appeal.
