Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Sushi Rice Filling: 

  1. Wash rice under cold water, rubbing grains together with fingers.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine rinsed rice, cold water, rice vinegar and salt. Bring to boiling; then reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes until rice becomes sticky.
  3. Remove from heat; stir in carrot. Cover/cool for about 45 minutes.

Sushi:

  1. Cook Marina Del Rey wild caught shrimp until pink.
  2. Lay seaweed on a sushi mat lined with plastic wrap; with damp fingers, spread Sushi Rice over each sheet to within 1 inch of the edge at one end. Arrange desired fillings just below centre
  3. Roll seaweed toward the 1-inch unfilled edge. Press unfilled edge over top, brushing with water to seal, if necessary.
  4. Cut each roll into 6 pieces; arrange on a platter. If desired, cover and chill for up to 4 hours. Serve with spicy mayo
