Sushi rolls (or maki sushi) seems rather intimidating, but it’s actually quite easy to make simple rolls like this at home.
And WAYYYY less expensive. Going out for sushi is definitly a splurge for us, but those complicated rolls are something that I don’t try to tackle at home, so it’s worth it occasionally.

WHAT IS IN A SPICY SHRIMP ROLL. This Spicy shrimp roll is made with sushi rice, rice vinegar, black sesame seeds, avocado and then chopped cooked shrimp that is cooled and mixed with a spicy mayo / siracha sauce mixture that your going to love.
Finish the sushi rice
Transfer the rice to a medium or large bowl. I do this so the rice cools more quickly.
Pour the dressing over the finished sushi rice and cover the bowl with a tea towel.
Ideally the sushi rice should be close to room temperature when you use it, so set it aside while you finish prepping the other components.
How to serve sushi rolls
I like to arrange them on a platter and let me family go nuts!
If I’m feeling fancy I drizzle some sriracha mayo on them and sprinkle on more sesame seeds and maybe some thinly sliced green onion or chopped cilantro.
Or straight sriracha if I’m feeling feisty.
You can also serve them traditionally with some tamari, pickled ginger, and wasabi paste.

How do you make spicy shrimp rolls?
The components for the spicy shrimp rolls can be made into a sushi bowl if rolling sushi isn’t your thing! Just make the sushi rice, the shrimp salad, and chop the cucumbers and avocados. I prefer to swap out the nori wrappers for roasted seaweed snacks and have some kind of dressing and toppings.
What is the difference between prawn and shrimp?
Shrimp and prawns have plenty of similarities, but they are not the same animal. Their differences involve their biology. Shrimp bodies are encased in a sort of accordion shell, with a membrane between the segments. Prawns have a shell where each segment overlaps the one below it. There are no big differences between them when it comes to their nutritional value; they are both a good source of protein, and relatively low in calories.
