Shrimp Sushi Parfait Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Place rice in strainer and rinse until the water runs clean. Place rice and water in a medium pot and place on high heat. Cover with lid and when liquid comes to a boil turn down to a simmer. Simmer until all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from the heat and let stand 10 minutes, covered. Place rice in a bowl and add the rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt.

Step 2: Peel avocado and remove pit. Either mash or purée with a food processor. Stir in the sour cream and squeeze in some lime juice. Season with salt.

Step 3: Roughly chop the shrimp and combine in a small bowl with ginger, red onion, red pepper, yellow pepper and coriander, lime juice and sesame oil. Mix to combine.

Step 4: Into 6 clear glasses, place 1 tbsp of the shrimp mixture, followed by a layer of the avocado mousse followed by a layer of the sushi rice. Continue until all the ingredients are used up, preferably with the shrimp as a last layer. Top each with a few pieces of julienned nori and the large shrimp.
