These wasabi shrimp sushi cups are perfect for you if rolling sushi is not in your wheelhouse. Certainly filling a muffin cup is! Prepare sushi rice according to the package instructions, but do not fluff—the success of this dish depends on very sticky rice. Use a silicone muffin pan, if you have one. While the rice cooks, prepare the filling ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions

For wasabi aioli; combine wasabi paste, soy sauce, and mayonnaise in a small, zippered food storage bag. Gently squeeze the bag to combine ingredients. Taste and add more wasabi paste, if desired. Seal the bag and refrigerate.

Place about 1/8 cup cooked and cooled rice in each of 8 silicone muffin cups. Press rice firmly into the cup, using damp fingertips. Shape some of the rice up the sides of the cup. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
