How to Make a Shrimp Sushi Burrito
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse sushi rice until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, then mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Let cool.
- Cook the Shrimp: If using fresh shrimp, sauté with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper until cooked through. For extra crunch, use tempura shrimp!
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean surface). Spread an even layer of sushi rice, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
- Add Fillings: Arrange shrimp, avocado, cucumber, carrots, and cream cheese or spicy mayo in the center.
- Roll it Up: Gently lift the edge of the nori and roll tightly, tucking in the fillings as you go. Seal with a bit of water if needed.
- Slice & Enjoy! Cut in half, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce or extra spicy mayo!
Tips & Variations
- Make it Spicy: Add sriracha or wasabi to the mayo for an extra kick.
- Add a Crunch: Use tempura shrimp or crushed crispy seaweed for texture.
- Go Tropical: Toss in some mango or pineapple for a sweet contrast.
- Protein Boost: Swap shrimp for salmon, tuna, or tofu!
