Spicy California Shrimp Stack
You don’t need any fancy tools, I layered everything in a one-cup measuring cup then flipped it over. If you love sushi, you may also love these Spicy Tuna Poke Bowls I’m obsessed with!
If the though of making these stacks get’s you nervous, make it even easier by turning it into a bowl! These spicy shrimp stacks are drizzled with spicy mayo, soy sauce and Furikake (affilialte link), a Japanese condiment made with blend of sesame seeds and seaweed and spices. If you don’t feel like going out of your way to purchase it, you can just use sesame seeds. I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice, it’s a great short-cut for busy weeknights and the texture is perfect. Using their rice, this came together in less than 15 minutes. If you make the rice yourself, use short grain sushi rice, the sticky texture is perfect for this.
Shrimp Stack Tips and Notes:
This would also be great with crab meat to make a more traditional California roll, or even raw sushi grade salmon or tuna. Buy shrimp still frozen and defrost as needed. Most shrimp arrives at stores frozen so you may as well buy it frozen and defrost it as needed so it as fresh as possible. If your shrimp is raw, you can poach them quickly in a pot of salted, boiling water, for 2-3 minutes, until they are just pink. Then, rinse them under cold water to stop them from cooking.
