Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Marinate the fresh shrimp in grape juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and chili powder. Mix well to coat and chill for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

- Mix the Spicy Mayo (natural): In a bowl, combine plant-based mayo (natural), chili paste (natural), lime juice, and smoked paprika. Stir well and adjust spice level as desired.
- Layer the Stacks: Using a mold or ring, press a firm layer of sushi rice at the base. Add a layer of plant-based cheese (plant-based), then marinated shrimp, followed by cucumber slices and avocado pieces. Repeat layers for a double-stacked effect.
- Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and cilantro on top. Optionally, apply a thin layer of natural gelling agent to help maintain structure. Chill the stacks briefly before serving.

- Use a ring mold for neat and professional-looking sushi stacks.
- Prepare components ahead of time but assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.

- Do not freeze the assembled stacks as it affects texture and shrimp quality.
- Enjoy the stacks cold or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended.
