Viral Shrimp and Crab Sushi Bake Recipe
Sushi is a special treat in my house, and we have a family-favorite restaurant with the BEST SUSHI in our area. But it's over 45 minutes away from where we live, so we don't get to indulge very often. We have made sushi at the house before, and it turned out pretty good, so I was super excited when I ran across a version of sushi that's easy to make at home on TikTok. Let me introduce my Viral Shrimp and Crab Sushi Bake Recipe to you!
Equipment
- 1 Baking Dish
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1/4 lb. shrimp tail off
- 1/4 lb. imitation crab meat
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

- Sesame seeds to top the sushi bake
- Avocado slices to top individual sushi rolls
- 10 Seaweed snack-sized nori sheets
- 3 tablespoons regular mayonnaise
- 1.5 oz. whipped cream cheese or softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sriracha plus extra for drizzling the top of the sushi bake
- 2 Green onions chopped to top the sushi bake
- Cucumber to top individual sushi rolls
- Soy sauce for dipping
- 1/2 teaspoon Tony's Cajun Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 tablespoon garlic powder

- Second, season the shrimp with Tony's seasoning, black pepper, avocado oil, and garlic powder while the air fryer gets hot.

- Next, take the imitation crab and shred it into a bowl.
- Then, add the whipped or softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl with the imitation crab.
- Add the mayo and the sriracha to the crab and cream cheese, and mix well.
- When the shrimp are finished cooking, chop them up, place them into the creamy crab mixture, and mix well.
- Take the cooked rice and stir in the rice vinegar. This is how we "season" the rice.
- Then, flatten the seasoned rice in an even layer in a glass baking dish. (or any casserole dish)
- Next, take the sheets of seaweed and crush them into a layer on top of the rice layer in the baking dish.
- Top the layer of seaweed with the crab and shrimp mixture.
- Cover with green onions, sesame seeds, and a nice drizzle of Sriracha.
- Bake at 380 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes.
