Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large fresh shrimp, peeled
1 cup sushi rice
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 medium Persian cucumber, sliced into thin strips
3 sheets nori, cut into strips
2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Salt to taste
Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

Prepare the sushi rice by rinsing it under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions and mix in rice vinegar while still warm. Let it cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Season with salt and drizzle with sriracha.
Slice the cucumber and dice the avocado while the shrimp cooks.
Assemble stacks on a plate or mold: layer sushi rice, shrimp, cucumber strips, avocado cubes, and a drizzle of sriracha. Repeat layers as desired.
Gently press down on each stack to secure layers without crushing them. Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
