Spicy Shrimp Sushi Stacks

Sushi is always a good option for eating out; it’s also fun to make at home and I like to change things up like in these spicy shrimp sushi stacks. This is a really simple change up on sushi where all of the flavours of a sushi roll are served in a stack, in this case a spicy shrimp sushi with avocado and cucumbers.

This recipe starts off with sushi rice which is a short grained rice, which when cooked gets sticky, and it’s seasoned with a touch of vinegar, sugar and salt after cooking. The next layer is a cool and creamy avocado and cucumber layer with diced avocado and cucumbers seasoned with lime juice and salt. The final layer is the spicy shrimp with large chunks of cooked, diced shrimp mixed up with mayo and sriracha chili sauce.
