Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more to taste)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
- Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Toss shrimp in a bowl with soy sauce and sriracha. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the shrimp until pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Mix mayonnaise and lime juice in another bowl until well blended.
- Assemble the sushi stacks in a mold or small cup, starting with a layer of sushi rice, followed by shrimp, avocado, lime mayonnaise, green onions, and sesame seeds. Press gently after each layer.
- Remove the stack from the mold, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with cucumber salad or light miso soup. Add lime juice over avocado to prevent browning.
