Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound cooked shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 sheets nori cut into small squares
  • Green onions chopped (for garnish)

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 until the rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  • In another bowl, combine the sriracha sauce and mayonnaise to create a spicy sauce. Add the cooked shrimp and toss until well coated.
  • 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 spicy shrimp, then a layer of avocado and cucumber. Repeat the layers until the mold is full, finishing with a layer of sushi rice on top.
  • Carefully remove the mold and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top.
  • Serve immediately with nori squares on the side for wrapping.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, add a bit more mayonnaise to the shrimp mixture.
  • You can also substitute the shrimp with crab meat or tofu for a different flavor.
  • For an extra kick, add diced jalapeños to the spicy sauce.
