Shrimp Avocado Cucumber Boats
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice, cooked
- 2 large cucumbers
- 1 tbs sesame seeds
Shrimp:
Avocado Mash:
- 3 avocados, rough mash
- 1 lime, juiced
- salt to taste
Spicy Mayo:
- 1/4 cup Kewpie mayo (or regular mayo)
- 2 tsp Sriracha sauce

Instructions
Shrimp:
- Coat your shrimp in olive oil and all the seasonings listed.
- Heat a large skillet on medium high and cook your shrimp until opaque – about 2 minutes per side.
Avocado Mash:
- Combine all ingredients and taste to adjust anything.
Spicy Mayo:
- Whisk ingredients together. Taste and adjust if needed.
Assembly:
- Wash and dry your cucumbers well. Slice them in half and then again those halves in half. Using a spoon or grapefruit spoon, scoop out as much of the seeds and flesh as possible.

I’ve made these three times in one week! they were enjoyed by all. So delicious with great texture.
delish! i had shrimp from Trader joes, the lime is perfect and the two tsp of sriracha was nice. ( i tried with one but family said it needed a lil more kick so up to 2!) perfect for summer night dinner.
Should the rice & shrimp be hot when we assemble everything?
Hi, whats a serving size?
One cucumber boat!
Delicious!
What’s the serving size?
Made these for girls night! What a stunning presentation and very very tasty! Thanks for something different and fun to spice up the evening!
Hi Kelly, That’s fantastic – I”m so happy they were a hit! Cheers!
Looks delicious but It seems like this would have way more than 4 grams of protein?
Hi Tanya! Thanks so much! I see your point. I will run it through the calculator again and see what happens…
This recipe was delicious! I used zucchini instead of cucumber. One of my favorite recipes soo far! Yum! 🤤
