Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks


  • Author: Sarah White
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Description

Layers of seasoned sushi rice, creamy avocado, and spicy shrimp create a fun, no-roll sushi stack that’s easy to make at home.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup short-grain rice

  • 2 cups water

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons sriracha

  • 1–2 avocados, sliced or lightly mashed

  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • Soy sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice until water runs clear, then cook with 2 cups water until tender. Stir in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while still warm.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet, cook shrimp until pink and opaque, about 3–4 minutes. Toss with mayonnaise and sriracha.

  3. Slice avocado and cucumber, preparing toppings for assembly.

  4. Lightly grease a food ring mold or ramekin. Layer rice at the bottom, followed by avocado, then spicy shrimp. Press gently.

  5. Lift the mold carefully, garnish with cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of soy sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh. Cooked rice and shrimp can be prepped a day ahead, but slice avocado just before serving. Adjust spice level by using more or less sriracha.
