Prepare Shrimp for Sushi
For sushi, lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place 2 pieces of prepared shrimp in the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, moistening the edge of the nori with water to seal it.

Slice Sushi Rolls
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into 6-8 pieces. Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
