Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup of tempura batter mix
- 1 cup of ice-cold water
- 4 cups of vegetable oil for frying
- 4 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 2 cups of sushi rice, cooked and seasoned
- Soy sauce and wasabi for serving
- Optional: avocado, cucumber, or scallions for added flavor and crunch
Instructions
- Prep the shrimp: Start by patting your shrimp dry with a paper towel.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with the ice-cold water until it’s just combined.
- Heat the oil: In a deep pot or a fryer, heat the vegetable oil to around 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the shrimp: Dip each shrimp in the batter and carefully drop them in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Drain: Once fried, place the shrimp on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Assemble the rolls: On a bamboo sushi mat, lay a sheet of nori shiny side down. Spread a layer of sushi rice, then place your fried shrimp in the center.
- Slice and serve: With a sharp knife, slice your roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
Notes
If your batter is too thick, add a splash more ice-cold water. Don’t worry if your rolls look imperfect; they add charm and rustic appeal.
