  1. Prepare the sushi rice by washing under cold water until clear. Combine washed rice and water in a pot, bring to boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, add vinegar and salt, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add shrimp, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and sriracha; add to shrimp and cook for another minute.
  3. Layer sushi rice into serving glasses, press down lightly. Top with shrimp mixture, then layer avocado and cucumber. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh herbs if desired.
  4. Serve immediately, either in individual portions or in a larger bowl with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with cooked crab or tofu. Adjust spiciness by reducing sriracha or using sweet chili sauce.
