### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Rice:**
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir into warm sushi rice until well combined. Let it cool slightly.
2. **Make the Spicy Shrimp:**
In another bowl, toss the chopped shrimp with mayonnaise, sriracha, and soy sauce. Adjust the heat level to your preference.
3. **Season the Veggies:**
In a small bowl, gently toss the diced avocado and cucumber with lime juice and a touch of sesame oil to prevent browning and add flavor.
4. **Assemble the Stacks:**
Lightly grease a ramekin or small bowl with cooking spray or line it with plastic wrap.
* Layer in 2–3 tablespoons of spicy shrimp
* Add a layer of avocado-cucumber mix
* Top with 2–3 tablespoons of sushi rice
Press down gently with the back of a spoon to compact.
5. **Flip and Serve:**
Invert the ramekin onto a serving plate and gently lift to release the stack. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and your favorite sauces.
