Shrimp Handrolls

This is the easiest Japanese-inspired food I know how to make, and it's great when it's warm enough to eat get away with not eating a hot meal.



For two people, I used the following:

-Half a pound of large shrimp; peeled, coarsely chopped, and blanched
-2-3 heaping tablespoons of mayonnaise
-1/8 cup masago, give or take depending on your preference
-1 package horseradish sprouts. You can find them in most Asian markets, in a plastic box with the roots still growing out of a white sponge.
-1 package large squares of nori.
-cooled sushi rice made with one cup of rice, one tablespoon of rice vinegar, a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and however much water you usually use to make regular rice.

Combine the shrimp, mayonnaise, and masago. Use half the mayo at first, then add if you think the filling needs to be more moist. That's it! End of recipe.


Assemble the handrolls as pictured above. You'll have to fold the squares of nori in half and break them unless you want monster sized handrolls. Roll into a cone and enjoy! The recipe makes enough for 10-12 handrolls, depending how big you roll them. I forgot to add any wasabi or soy sauce, but you can certainly make a dip to give your meal a kick.
