Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stack

A quick, layered sushi experience with bold heat — all the flavors of a spicy roll served in an easy, buildable stack.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice, cooked and cooled
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Nori sheets (optional for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
  • Green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook sushi rice according to package instructions and let it cool to room temperature. Season lightly with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt if desired.
  2. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy sauce; set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add a little oil, then sauté the shrimp until pink and cooked through (about 2–3 minutes per side). Add soy sauce toward the end and toss to coat; remove from heat.
  4. To assemble, use a small ring mold or scoop: place a scoop of cooled rice as the first layer in each serving dish.
  5. Add a layer of cooked shrimp on top of the rice, then a layer of sliced avocado. Drizzle spicy mayo over the top.
  6. Repeat layers if you want taller stacks, finishing with a drizzle of sauce.
  7. Garnish with torn nori, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use day-old or cooled sushi rice for better texture and easier layering. Adjust the spiciness of the mayo to taste.
