Ingredients

Instructions
- Prepare the sushi rice according to package instructions. Typically, rinse the rice thoroughly until water runs clear, then cook in a rice cooker or on the stovetop with the appropriate water ratio.
- While the rice is cooking, clean and devein the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crisp cooking.
- Create the dynamite sauce by mixing mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce in a bowl. Adjust the ratio to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.
- Once cooked, toss the shrimp in the dynamite sauce, coating them evenly.
- Dice the cucumber and avocado into small, uniform cubes.
- Cut the nori sheets into thin strips using kitchen scissors.
- Assemble the bowl by placing the warm sushi rice as the base.
- Arrange the dynamite shrimp on top of the rice.
- Garnish with cucumber and avocado cubes.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the bowl.
- Finish by scattering the nori strips on top for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the shrimp are still warm and the rice is fresh.
Tips
- Rice Matters: Use short-grain sushi rice and rinse it thoroughly to remove excess starch for the perfect fluffy texture.
- Shrimp Selection: Choose fresh, medium-sized shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Ensure they're completely dry before cooking to achieve a nice sear.
- Sauce Customization: Adjust the Sriracha-to-mayonnaise ratio to match your spice tolerance. Start with a small amount and gradually increase.
- Sesame Seeds: Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their nutty flavor before sprinkling.
- Freshness is Key: Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast between warm shrimp and cool vegetables.
- Knife Skills: Use a sharp knife when cutting cucumber and avocado to create uniform, attractive cubes.
- Nori Tip: If possible, use kitchen scissors for clean, precise nori strips that add a beautiful garnish and authentic touch.
