These Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks combine perfectly seasoned shrimp with sushi rice and fresh veggies for a vibrant, flavor-packed appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 2 sheets nori, cut into small squares
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes.
  2. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt; gently fold into the cooked rice. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha to create spicy mayo. Adjust spice level to taste.
  4. Season shrimp with salt and a drizzle of sesame oil. Pan-sear shrimp over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
  5. To assemble each stack, place a nori square on a serving plate, then layer with a spoonful of sushi rice, followed by diced cucumber, avocado slices, and chopped shrimp tossed in spicy mayo.
  6. Repeat layering if desired to create a taller stack, finishing with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.
  7. Serve immediately with additional spicy mayo on the side for dipping.

Notes

For an extra crunch, add tempura flakes between the layers or serve with pickled ginger to complement the flavors.
