Ingredients

shrimp stacks;

  • 2 cups brown rice washed
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 lb shrimp
  • 2 Tbsp oil (I use olive oil)
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 1 small cucumber diced
  • sesame seeds (optional)
  • diced scallions (optional)

sriracha mayo;

  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions

  • Wash and soak the brown rice in water for at least 1+ hour. Cook in rice cooker according to directions (I typically do 4 cups water to 2 cups brown rice). Remove from rice cooker and mix in rice vinegar. Set aside and allow to partially cool.
  • Meanwhile heat the oil in a pan, and add the shrimp. Cook 1-2 minutes each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove to a paper-towel lined sheet and allow to cool.
  • Keeping each ingredient separate, dice the avocado, cucumber, and shrimp and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce and set aside.
  • Begin assembling the shrimp stacks. To get perfect circles use a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter and layer ingredients inside. For an easier option, just build a bowl with the ingredients. Layer rice , then chopped shrimp, and top with a mixture of diced cucumber and avocado.
  • Top with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and/or scallions as desired.
