Spicy California Shrimp Stack

 



This is a great little recipe from Skinny Taste, who always serves up delicious recipes. This is company worthy. It comes out looking like something you'd be served at a restaurant. A few tips from the cook:

Apparently, Trader Joe’s carries frozen brown rice, which is a great short-cut for busy weeknights and the texture is perfect. Using their rice, this came together in less than 15 minutes. If you make the rice yourself, use short grain sushi rice, the sticky texture is perfect for this.

  • This would also be great with crab meat to make a more traditional California roll, or even raw sushi grade salmon or tuna.

  • If your shrimp is raw, you can poach them quickly in a pot of salted, boiling water, for 2-3 minutes, until they are just pink. Then, rinse them under cold water to stop them from cooking.
