Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Rice
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Avocado
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
Spicy Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
Instructions
- Cook the shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Prepare sushi rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 10 minutes. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then fold into the cooked rice gently. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Make spicy mayo: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and adjust the spice level to taste.
- Assemble sushi stacks: Using a ring mold or small bowl, start by placing a layer of sushi rice at the bottom. Next, add a layer of sliced avocado, followed by a layer of shrimp. Drizzle generously with spicy mayo. Repeat the layers to desired height. Carefully remove the mold to reveal the stacked layers.
- Serve: Plate the sushi stacks and garnish with additional spicy mayo or fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the mayo to control spiciness.
- Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning and the rice from drying out.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your sriracha and mayonnaise are gluten-free.
- Chilling the assembled stacks briefly can help them hold their shape better before serving.
