1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup Japanese mayonnaise (such as Kewpie®)
1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/3 cup seasoned panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 tablespoon white sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 tablespoon black sesame seeds
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
1/2 avocado, finely chopped

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2 Spread rice in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet to cool slightly, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the rice vinegar.
3 Stir together mayonnaise, Sriracha, and remaining 1 tablespoon rice vinegar in a medium bowl, until combined. Transfer 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise mixture to a separate small bowl; reserve for later.
4 Stir soy sauce into remaining mayonnaise mixture in medium bowl; stir in shrimp until coated.
5 Place a nori square into each prepared muffin cup. With damp hands, toss rice on rimmed baking sheet to separate grains. Top each nori square with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of rice, and press into bottom of muffin cup. Top each with about 3 shrimp; discard any remaining mayonnaise mixture from bowl of shrimp.
6 Stir together panko and canola oil in a small bowl. Bake shrimp cups in preheated oven 8 minutes; remove from oven, and sprinkle with a large pinch of panko mixture. Return to oven, and bake until shrimp are cooked through and panko is golden, 6 to 7 minutes longer.
7 Carefully remove cups from muffin tin and place on a platter. Drizzle with reserved mayonnaise mixture, sprinkle with white and black sesame seeds and scallions; top with avocado. Serve hot.
