Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large cucumbers
• 200 grams Shrimp
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 piece Avocado
• 2 pieces Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Use a vegetable peeler to slice the cucumbers into long, thin ribbons, discarding the seeded core.

Step 2

Boil the shrimp in salted water for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque, then drain and cool. Peel and devein if necessary.

Step 3

Slice the avocado in half, remove the seed, and cut it into thin slices then drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 4

Lay a sushi mat on a flat surface. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the mat, then a nori sheet on top.

Step 5

Arrange cucumber slices evenly over the nori sheet, slightly overlapping them to form a solid layer.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese horizontally across the edge of the nori closest to you.

Step 7

Place a line of shrimp, followed by avocado slices, across the cream cheese.

Step 8

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the cucumber, nori, and fillings together, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight.

Step 9

Once rolled, let it sit for a few minutes to allow the moisture to soften the nori.

Step 10

Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of the roll, pressing gently to help them adhere.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 12

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping.
