We swapped in shrimp for salmon in this take on the viral TikTok sushi bake trend. These are great appetizers to serve at a cocktail party, as well as a meal with a light cucumber salad on the side. If you aren't a fan of nori, try these using wonton wrappers instead.

  • cooking spray
  • 3 sheetss nori , dry seaweed
  • 1.5 cups warm cooked sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 0.33 cups Japanese mayonnaise , such as Kewpie®

  • 0.5 tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
  • ½ avocado , finely chopped

    Spread rice in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet to cool slightly, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the rice vinegar.
