Spicy Shrimp Stack
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 1/3 cups of cooked short-grain brown rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/3-1/2 pound of cleaned (peeled/tails removed) cooked shrimp, diced into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup of diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup of mashed avocado
- 4 teaspoons of mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons of Sriracha
- Reduced sodium soy sauce to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cook the rice according to package directions and measure out 1 1/3 cups.
- Add the rice vinegar and stir. Spread the rice out on a sheet pan to cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Sriracha and set aside.
- Now you're ready to build your stack: Using a 1 cup measuring cup, layer in 1/4 of a cup of diced cucumbers, then 2 tablespoons of the mashed avocado, then 1/4 cup of the diced shrimp, and lastly 1/3 cup of brown rice.
- Place a small plate on top of the measuring cup and flip over to turn your stack onto the plate.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with soy sauce and spicy mayo.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
This meal takes no time to prepare and it is an awesome alternative to expensive sushi takeout. The original and a bit fancier version comes from Skinny Taste. You could also dress it up a bit if you are entertaining by substituting the shrimp for ahi tuna.
