Baked Sushi Cups with Spicy Shrimp
These sushi cups are topped with creamy spicy shrimp mix, and baked to perfection in the oven. The edges come out super crispy with the fillings packed full of flavors. They are easy to make, and easy to eat with one hand. This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free.
Equipment
- 1 x muffin mold with 12 cups
Ingredients
- 3 sheets nori
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined

- Cut the nori into quarter squares so it makes 12 pieces. Lightly grease the muffin pan and set aside. Preheat the oven to 425°F/ 218°C.
- Pat dry the shrimp well with paper towels. Chop on a cutting board, then transfer to a bowl. Season it with salt, mayonnaise, Sriracha, and sesame oil. Toss well.
- Add 1 heaping tablespoon of rice on each nori sheet, pressing down with the back of a spoon. Press each of them into the muffin pan.

Notes
If not consuming immediately, I recommend to rest on a cooling rack so the bottom of the sushi cups do not sweat and get soggy.
