# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Rinse sushi rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sushi rice with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low, cover, and gently simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
02 -
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the seasoning.
03 -
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce. Pour the sauce over the cooked shrimp, toss to coat evenly, and return to the skillet for 1 minute to allow flavors to infuse.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce. Set aside.
06 -
Using a round mold or the inside of a clean can, press a portion of seasoned sushi rice into each serving glass or bowl. Add a layer of the spicy shrimp mixture. Top with slices of avocado and julienned cucumber for freshness.
07 -
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and add chopped cilantro or green onions as desired. Serve immediately with a drizzle of spicy mayo.
