Method
Tempura Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Prepare the batter
In a mixing bowl, combine tempura batter mix with ice-cold water. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Fry the shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the filling
In a bowl, mix the sliced avocado, softened cream cheese, and finely chopped jalapeño until well combined. This will be the filling for your sushi.
Final Assembly

Assemble the sushi
On a sushi mat, lay out a sheet of nori. Spread a layer of the avocado, cream cheese, and jalapeño mixture across the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place several tempura shrimp in a line on top of the filling.

Roll the sushi
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

Slice the sushi
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a damp towel between cuts to ensure clean edges.
