Shrimp Sushi

Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1.25 cups water
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 tsp wasabi paste
• 2 tbsp pickled ginger

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the 1 cup sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, and 0.5 tsp salt until dissolved. Fold this into the warm rice, then let it cool to room temperature.

4. 4

   Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and let cool, then slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.

5. 5

   Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small handful of rice and shape it into an oval about 2 inches long.

6. 6

   Top each rice oval with a slice of shrimp. Serve with a dab of wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.

7. 7

   Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
