Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pickled ginger, for garnish
  • Wasabi, 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 cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold into cooked rice and let cool.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and let cool.
  4. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise with sriracha to make spicy mayo.
  5. To assemble, use a ring mold or stack by hand: layer a spoonful of sushi rice, diced avocado, cooked shrimp, a drizzle of spicy mayo, and cucumber slices. Repeat layers as desired.
  6. Top with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Garnish with pickled ginger and wasabi. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra crunch, sprinkle crushed tempura flakes between layers or add finely chopped fresh cilantro for a flavor twist.
