Spicy Crunchy Shrimp
Spicy crunchy shrimp rolls are fun to make and taste great. This roll has a wonderful balance of salt, fat, sugar, vinegar and heat. The avocado gives the fats and creamy texture. Crispy jalapenos give salt, crunch and heat. Unagi sauce gives the sugars, and you can add sushinoki (optional) to add more vinegar than what is already in the rice.
Start with 1/2 to 3/4 sheet of nori.
Use large shrimp for better flavor. 21-24 count shrimp or larger should be used.
Unagi sauce (eel sauce) will sweeten this roll a bit.
Add green onions and avocado.
Use panko crumbs to give this roll some extra crunch.
Don’t skimp on the panko used. This pic gives an idea of how much panko should be used in crunchy rolls.
Crispy fried jalapenos give this roll a noticeable amount of heat. You may add sriracha, gochujang, spicy miso paste or other additional spice to make this roll even hotter.
Start the roll and tuck in the ingredients prior to making the first revolution of the roll.
Tighten the roll.
Form and shape your roll.
At this point you have a finished maki roll. This roll like all others can be made as a uramaki roll.
Make your first cut in the middle of the roll.
Place the cut halves next to each other and make two cuts at once from here on out.
Finish with eight pieces of this roll making each piece the perfect bite-sized piece of sushi.
These rolls tend to be very popular due to the texture and abundance of flavor. You may top with any common toppings or sauces of your liking. These keep while cooled for up to one day.
