Ingredients
  

For the sushi stacks
  • 1 cup jasmine rice This aromatic rice brings a delightful fragrance and fluffy texture to your dish.
  • 14 oz can unsweetened coconut milk Rich and creamy, the coconut milk adds a tropical flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavor.
  • 1 piece mango (cubed into 1/2-inch dice) Provides a burst of sweetness to the dish.
  • 1 piece avocado (cubed into 1/2-inch dice) Adds creaminess and richness.
  • 1 lb cooked shrimp, tails removed (cubed into 1/2-inch dice) Provides a satisfying protein element.
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise Binds flavors together with a silky texture.
  • 1 tbsp chili paste (or sriracha) Adds heat and depth to the dish.
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil Enhances overall taste with its nutty flavor.
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds Adds texture and a decorative touch.

Method
 

Cooking the Rice
  1. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk and kosher salt, bringing it over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil.
  2. Add the jasmine rice, cover it, and turn the heat down to low. Allow it to simmer for about 18 minutes.
  3. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and keep it covered for an additional 5 minutes to steam.
  4. After resting, spread the rice out on a cookie sheet to cool.
Preparing the Ingredients
  1. While the rice is cooling, dice the mango, avocado, and shrimp, placing each in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  2. To prepare the shrimp mixture, add mayonnaise, chili paste, and sesame oil into the bowl with the diced shrimp. Stir together until the shrimp is thoroughly coated.
  3. Cover all bowls (mango, avocado, shrimp) and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Assembling the Stacks
  1. Prepare your stacking tool: a greased 1-cup measuring cup, a soup can with both ends removed, or a 3 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
  2. Begin layering your stacks, starting with a layer of cooled rice, then shrimp, avocado, and lastly mango. Gently press down after each layer.
  3. Carefully lift the cup, can, or ring upwards to reveal your sushi stacks. Repeat this with the remaining ingredients for additional servings.
  4. Finish off by sprinkling black sesame seeds on top of each stack.
Serving
  1. Serve the Mango Shrimp Sushi Stacks immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are properly cooked and chilled. Adjust chili paste for spice preference. Customize layers with cucumbers or radishes for extra crunch.
