Description
A quick and flavorful recipe for Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks that combines shrimp, avocado, and sushi rice for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Nori sheets, cut into strips (optional)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
- To assemble the sushi stacks, use a round mold or a small cup. Start by layering a spoonful of sushi rice at the bottom, followed by a layer of the spicy shrimp mixture, then add a few slices of avocado and cucumber. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the mold.
- Carefully remove the mold to reveal the stacked sushi. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Serve immediately with nori strips on the side for wrapping, if using.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with marinated tofu or grilled vegetables.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or tamari to the shrimp mixture for extra flavor.
