Spicy California Shrimp Stack
Description
Spicy California Shrimp Stack assembles cooked shrimp cut into cubes with brown short-grain rice flavored with rice vinegar, diced cucumber, mashed avocado, and chopped chives. These ingredients are layered carefully using a measuring cup to create a firm stack that holds its shape when inverted onto plates.
The stacks are garnished with furikake seasoning, providing a textured, slightly salty flavor from sesame seeds or similar ingredients. A drizzle of soy sauce and a sriracha-infused mayonnaise contributes a spicy, umami-rich finish. The resulting dish balances creamy avocado with fresh vegetables and a hint of heat from the sriracha.
This recipe produces multiple individual servings that work well for lunches or appetizers, combining distinct textures and mildly spicy flavors with clean, sharp vegetable notes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups brown rice from 1/2 cup uncooked, cooked short-grain
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 8 ounces Shrimp peeled and tails removed, cooked
- 1 cup cucumber about 1 small, diced
- 1 teaspoon chives chopped fresh
- 1/2 cup avocado about 1 medium, mashed
- 4 teaspoons furikake (such as Eden Shake or use sesame seeds)
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce or gluten-free, reduced-sodium
- 4 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and oil. When rice is done, add rice vinegar and stir. Evenly spread rice on a sheet pan to cool.
- Cut shrimp into 1-inch cubes. In a small bowl, combine cucumber and chives. In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha sauce.
- Using a 1 cup dry measuring cup, layer ¼ cup cucumber, then 2 tablespoon of avocado, then ¼ of the shrimp, and 1/3 cup rice.
- Carefully turn the cup upside down to turn the stack out onto a plate, lightly tapping the bottom of the cup if necessary. Sprinkle with Furikake and drizzle with 1 teaspoon soy sauce and sriracha mayonnaise.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
