Vertical stacks of food are visually appealing and add a touch of flair to any meal. Watch friends and family get sparkles in their eyes. Like little girls opening nesting dolls.

Focusing on the big picture of Spicy Shrimp Stacks with Mango Salsa may intimidate you. Here’s a bit of reassurance: Go-For-It! Basically, it’s a matter of doing the familiar – boiling (rice), chopping, spreading, stirring, mixing, layering, stacking and drizzling. So, how difficult can that be?

Let’s talk about stacking. Ultimately, stacking turns a boring presentation into food art. Owning a set of stacking cylinders isn’t vital, but they will make the process trouble-free. In the beginning, you can compose layers in a ramekin or a one-cup measuring cup.

Extra tips

Preparing fresh shrimp is tiresome. Better to buy shrimp that is already peeled, deveined and pre-cooked.

Spray a thin layer of sesame, coconut or olive oil on bottom and sides of cylinder or bowl to prevent ingredients from sticking.

Change It Up

Consider the recipe for Spicy Shrimp Stacks with Mango Salsa your pattern for stack food. Once you’ve mastered this recipe, reimagine it using different ingredients. For example, how about changing the dry sticky rice ingredient to Quinoa, Basmati or Brown rice?

Experiment with different types of fish, such as crab or scallops.

Not a fan of rice grains?

Just put cauliflower florets in the blender and grind until it’s a similar texture of rice. Cook in microwave about 2-3 minutes to soften.

Better watch out or before you can say alakazam, you’ll get hopelessly addicted to stack food.

    Using cauliflower instead of rice if you aren't into grains is a clever idea and you would end up with the same look and feel. Your stacks look great.
