Assemble the Roll
On a bamboo mat, lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the surimi salad over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a few slices of avocado, cucumber, lettuce, and 3-4 pieces of tempura shrimp in the center.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to keep the ingredients inside. Roll until you reach the top edge of the nori, then wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.
