Instructions
- Begin by preparing the shrimp. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and season the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, and salt. Sauté until the shrimp are cooked through and pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the shrimp are cooking, slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create boats.
- In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados and mix in lime juice for flavor.
- In a small bowl, mix Kewpie mayonnaise, Sriracha, and honey to create a spicy mayo.
- Assemble the boats by adding a layer of sushi rice to the cucumber halves, followed by a layer of avocado mash, topped with the sautéed shrimp.
- Drizzle the spicy mayo over the shrimp and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spice level of the mayo by altering the amount of Sriracha. These boats can be served cold or at room temperature for a refreshing appetizer.
