2 tablespoons rice vinegar

3 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 avocado, thinly sliced

¼ cup mayonnaise

1 package SeaPak coconut shrimp

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Fresh jalapeño and red chile pepper

PREPARATION:

  1. Bake shrimp according to package directions and set aside.
  2. Put sushi rice in rice cooker (or in a saucepan) along with pineapple juice until cooked (about 16–20 minutes).
  3. Mix hot rice with ½ of SEAPAK COCONUT SHRIMP orange sauce packet (thawed).
  4. Once rice has cooled, place mixture into a small baking sheet (8x10 or 9x12) lined with plastic wrap. Carefully press rice into the corners. Cool completely.
