Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks are a delightful twist on traditional sushi, combining spicy shrimp, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber on a bed of sushi rice. A quick and customizable dish that’s perfect for parties or a satisfying meal.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked short-grained rice, well rinsed

2 cups water

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup avocado, mashed

1 cup cucumber, diced

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt to taste

1/2 pound cooked shrimp, diced

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sriracha

4 teaspoons furikake

Instructions

  1. For the sushi rice: Bring the rice and water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Let it cool slightly.
  2. For the avocado and cucumber layer: In a bowl, combine the mashed avocado, diced cucumber, lime juice, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. For the spicy shrimp: In a separate bowl, mix the cooked, diced shrimp with mayonnaise and sriracha until fully coated.
  4. For the stacks: Using a stack guide or an empty can with both ends removed, gently layer the rice, avocado-cucumber mixture, and spicy shrimp mixture, pressing down lightly between each layer. Sprinkle furikake on top for added flavor and texture.
  5. Serve: Gently remove the stack guide or can and serve your sushi stacks immediately.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, you can swap shrimp for other proteins like raw tuna, salmon, or crab.
  • Add diced mango for a tropical twist.
  • For a vegetarian option, use avocado, cucumber, and pickled radish instead of shrimp.
  • The stacks are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 1 day in the fridge. Reheat rice with a damp paper towel to restore moisture.
  • If furikake is unavailable, sesame seeds or shredded nori can be used as alternatives.
