Sushi Muffins are a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of sushi without the hassle of rolling it yourself or using raw fish at home. This Crispy Shrimp Sushi Muffins recipe is particularly simple, as it can be made in 15 minutes or less with minimal ingredients.The Crispy Shrimp Sushi Muffins are packed with cucumbers, avocado and gluten free crispy shrimp, making them a healthy and satisfying meal. You can use white rice or sticky rice. I like to use instant microwavable rice to keep this recipe as easy as possible. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or healthy lunch. It is also gluten-free and dairy free.
