Step 1
Whisk mayo and sriracha together until bright red. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (or until a small piece of nori sizzles immediately).
Step 3
Mix flour and cornstarch with ice water until a loose batter forms. Dip shrimp into batter, coating fully.
Step 4
Fry battered shrimp 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel.
Step 5
Lay nori shiny-side down on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of rice (about 1/4 inch) across most of the sheet.
Step 6
Place 4 shrimp and a few avocado slices on the rice near the bottom edge. Roll tightly away from you, sealing with a dab of water.
Step 7
Slice the roll into 6 pieces with a sharp, wet knife. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve immediately.
