Description
Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks are a delicious layered treat featuring seasoned sushi rice, spicy shrimp, avocado, and cucumber.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for rice)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 small cucumber, julienned
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Wash the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the rice and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Season the Rice: Remove the rice from the heat, stir in rice vinegar and salt. Cover and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and opaque.
- Season the Shrimp: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and sriracha. Drizzle this mixture over the cooked shrimp, toss to coat, and cook for an additional minute to let the flavors absorb.
- Layer the Rice: Using a round mold or the inside of a clean can, layer a portion of the seasoned sushi rice into individual serving glasses or bowls, pressing down gently to compact it.
- Add Shrimp: Top the rice with the spicy shrimp mixture, pressing it down slightly to make it stick.
- Add Avocado and Cucumber: Layer the sliced avocado and julienned cucumber on top of the shrimp for a fresh, crisp texture.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions for extra flavor and color.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sriracha sauce.
- For a creamier texture, mix the mayonnaise with the spicy shrimp mixture.
