1 avocado, diced
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1–2 teaspoons sriracha (to taste)

Instructions
- Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into warm cooked sushi rice. Let cool.
- Combine chopped shrimp with mayonnaise and sriracha; mix well.

- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Drizzle soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use a ramekin or metal ring to shape stacks perfectly.
Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
