Ingredients
For Shrimp
- 6-8 jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 egg
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- oil for frying
For Roll
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 Nori sheets
- ¼ cup English cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocados sliced
- 2 tablespoons greens onions to garnish
Instructions
- Wash the shrimp and pat them dry. Make a small slit on the back of each shrimp to prevent them from curling up while frying.
- In the first bowl, place the cornstarch. In the second bowl, whisk the egg with water and add flour and salt to create the batter. Set the bowls aside.
- Coat each shrimp with cornstarch first, then dip them into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Deep fry the shrimp in hot oil until they turn golden and crispy. Once fried, set the shrimp aside.
- Prepare the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a bowl.
- Add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt to the cooked rice. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings into the rice.
- Place a cling wrap over a sushi mat to prevent sticking.
- Lay a sheet of Nori on top of the cling wrap.
- Dip your hands in water to prevent sticking, then spread the sushi rice evenly over the Nori sheet.
- Flip the Nori sheet to the other side so that the rice is facing down, and arrange the shrimp, cucumber slices, and avocado along the length of the Nori sheet.
- Using the sushi mat, tightly roll the Nori sheet and fillings into a compact sushi roll. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions on top of the sushi rolls for garnish.
- Serve the shrimp sushi rolls and enjoy!

Notes
- Storage: For crispy shrimp, we recommend serving this immediately. However, it will keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1-2 days.
