Shrimp and Imitation Crab Sushi Rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by laying a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat.

2. 2

   Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread about 1/2 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top edge of the nori.

3. 3

   Place a line of shredded imitation crab meat across the center of the rice.

4. 4

   Add a line of sliced cooked shrimp on top of the crab.

5. 5

   Add a few slices of avocado and a few strips of julienned cucumber on top of the shrimp.

6. 6

   Carefully start rolling the sushi using the bamboo mat, pressing down firmly but gently. Roll until just an inch of nori is showing at the top.

7. 7

   Wet the exposed strip of nori with a little water to help seal the roll.

8. 8

   Complete the roll and press the bamboo mat around the roll to firm it up.

9. 9

   Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 pieces, wetting the knife between cuts to prevent sticking.

10. 10

    Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping, and wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side.
