Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 8 pieces raw shrimp
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain thoroughly.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice using a wooden spoon. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 7

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

Step 8

Wet your hands with water to prevent rice from sticking. Spread about 1/4 of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Place 2 shrimp along the center of the rice-covered nori.

Step 10

Carefully roll the sushi tightly away from you using the sushi mat, applying gentle pressure to seal.

Step 11

Slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces with a sharp, damp knife.

Step 12

Repeat steps 7-11 with the remaining nori sheets, rice, and shrimp.

Step 13

Serve the shrimp sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
