Follow these straightforward steps to bring your Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks to life:

1. Cook the Rice: Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.

2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque.

3. Make the Spicy Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sriracha and mayonnaise until well combined. Adjust the sriracha based on your heat preference.

4. Season the Rice: In a separate bowl, combine cooked rice, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix gently to combine. This adds flavor to the rice.

5. Assemble the Stacks:
– Begin with a layer of sushi rice at the bottom of your serving dish or individual bowls.
– Follow with a layer of shrimp. Drizzle some spicy sauce over the shrimp.
– Add a layer of sliced cucumber and diced avocado.
– Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with shrimp on top.

6. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top of the stacks. If using, cut seaweed sheets into rectangles and place them decoratively.

7. Serve: Enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for a short period before serving.

With these straightforward steps, you can create stunning Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks effortlessly.
