Ingredients

TO MAKE RICE

  • 2 cups sushi or short grain rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Tbs rice vinegar
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 1 lb jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined and tail off
  • 1 cup tempura batter
  • 4 sheets or nori
  • 1/2 avocado sliced into small strips
  • 4 oz cream cheese sliced into small strips
  • 1/2 cucumber sliced into small strips

SPICY MAYO

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1-2 Tbs sriracha
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  • Place rice in bowl and cover with cool water and swirl around to wash off, drain. Repeat until water runs clear.
  • Cook rice in rice cooker or on stove top according to package directions.
  • Once the rice is done cooking add to a large bowl or baking sheet, in small bowl add your rice vinegar, sugar and salt and heat on high for about 15-20 seconds. Pour over rice and toss to coat, let sit until cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat your deep fryer to 375.
  • Mix up your tempura batter and dunk shrimp in batter and add to deep fryer and cook until golden brown, set aside.
  • Once rice is cool grab your sushi mat and place a sheet of nori shiny side up.
  • Add about 3/4 cup of your sushi rice on top or nori and spread out until it covers the sheet.
  • Flip your sheet over so your rice face down (I spray my lined mat with cooking spray to ensure it doesn't stick, you could also coat with sesame oil).
  • Place about 3 pieces of your shrimp tempura across the center, layer with a few strips of each of your cucumber, avocado and cream cheese.
  • Using your sushi mat, bring one end up and start to roll towards the opposite side, compressing the insides so you get a tight seal, continue to roll until it forms a long log, remove and set on plate or tray until all are finished.
  • Repeat 3 more times.
  • Using a sharp wet knife cut your sushi into equal pieces, you will get about 8 a roll depending on how thick you cut them.

SPICY MAYO

  • Mix all ingredients together in small bowl adding 1 Tbs of sriracha sauce at a time for desired heat. Cover and refrigerate unused portion.
