Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks

Ingredients:

For the Rice:

1 cup short-grain rice
2 cups water
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
For the Spicy Shrimp:

1/2 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
For Assembly:

1 cup diced avocado
1 cup diced cucumber
4 teaspoons furikake (Japanese rice seasoning)
1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions:

Cook the Rice: Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a rice cooker or a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Prepare the Sushi Rice Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and drizzle the sushi rice seasoning over it. Gently fold the seasoning into the rice using a rice paddle or spatula. Let the seasoned rice cool to room temperature.

Make the Spicy Shrimp: In another bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce. Mix until the shrimp is coated evenly with the spicy mayo.

Assemble the Sushi Stacks: In small molds or bowls, layer the ingredients to create the sushi stacks. Start with a layer of seasoned rice at the bottom of each mold. Press down gently to compact the rice. Next, add a layer of diced avocado, followed by a layer of diced cucumber. Top with a layer of the spicy shrimp mixture.

Press down gently on the ingredients to compact the stacks. Carefully remove the molds to reveal the sushi stacks.

Garnish each stack with a sprinkle of furikake and a drizzle of lime juice.

Serve the Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks immediately and enjoy!

These sushi stacks are visually appealing and packed with flavor. They make a delightful appetizer or light meal. Adjust the spiciness according to your preference by adding more or less sriracha sauce.
