  3. In a bowl, mix ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 1-2 tablespoons of sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir in 1 cup of cooked shrimp and set aside.
  4. Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin slices and strips respectively.
  5. Assemble sushi stacks using a round mold, layering rice, avocado, spicy shrimp mixture, and cucumber, compacting each layer.
  6. Remove the mold and garnish with sesame seeds, cilantro, and green onions. Serve immediately.
