Avocado and Shrimp Sushi
Recipes » Main Dish » Fish and Shellfish
Using mashed avocado makes this California-style sushi easy to roll. Use precooked shrimp for an easy shortcut. Serve sushi with the typical accompaniments of wasabi, low-sodium soy sauce, and pickled ginger.
"We used about half this much shrimp and a quarter of the rice. Tasty and fresh!"

Let rest, seam side down, for 5 minutes. Slice crosswise into 8 pieces. Repeat procedure with remaining nori, rice mixture, avocado mixture, shrimp mixture, chives, and cucumber.
