Ingredients

• Sushi rice - 150 grams
• Water - 200 ml
• Rice vinegar - 30 ml
• Sugar - 10 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 200 grams
• Nori sheets - 2 sheets
• Cucumber (julienned) - 50 grams
• Avocado (sliced) - 50 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Wasabi - to taste
• Pickled ginger - for serving

Steps

1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, soak it in water for 30 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, combine the soaked rice and 200 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
3. While the rice is cooking, prepare the sushi vinegar by mixing rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
4. Once the rice is done, remove it from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the sushi vinegar. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
5. In a skillet, cook the shrimp over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Season lightly with salt.
6. Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge.
7. Arrange a few pieces of cooked shrimp, cucumber, and avocado in a line on the rice. Starting from the bottom, roll the sushi tightly, using the mat to help shape it. Seal the edge with a little water.
8. Repeat the process with the second nori sheet and the remaining ingredients.
9. Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
