Step 1:
How to make homemade shrimp rolls? Start with rice. Sort it out.
Step 2:
Then rinse, and so that the water after washing is transparent.
Step 3:
Fill the rice with water (so that it covers it on top by 1.5-2 fingers). As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and cook according to the instructions. It took me 12 minutes. At the end, I covered the saucepan with a lid, turned off the fire and waited for 10 minutes.
Step 4:
If you have fresh shrimp, boil them. I had royal ice cream. I defrosted them in water so that it would be easy to clean them later. Do not overdo it in water!
Step 5:
Then, removing the shell, I removed the intestines (a thin incision should be made on the back of the shrimp and pull out a thin thread) and strung on skewers. So the shrimp will be smoother when we pour it with boiling water and then put it on rice.
Step 6:
To make the shrimp taste piquant, I poured them with a boiling solution of lemon juice, salt and water (everything to taste). Let them stand for a few minutes. Then drain this mixture and put the shrimp in a bowl without removing the skewers.
Step 7:
Very quickly prepare a dressing from a teaspoon of boiling water, the same amount of sugar and rice vinegar. You can taste it and change the ratio of the components. For example, I poured a little more water.
Step 8:
Slice the cucumber, peeling it from the skin. Let there be such strips.
Step 9:
Slice the bell pepper – for beauty and taste.
Step 10:
That's it. Pour the dressing into the still hot rice. Stir. Let it cool down.
Step 11:
Cover the mat with a film, put the nori on it. Wetting your hands in water (put a cup of water next to it), lay out a thin layer of rice. Just be sure to leave an empty strip of nori on the far side from you (1.5-2 cm).
Step 12:
Put the shrimp, cucumber and pepper on the rice along the entire width of the nori.
Step 13:
Grease the roll filling with mayonnaise on top.
Step 14:
We have to roll up the roll. But you can't cut it now either. Let him lie down, tamp down.
Step 15:
After 10 minutes of this, cut the roll with a sharp knife. And serve.

And more tips

You can add any other vegetables to the shrimp.

It is better to take large shrimp, because small ones will not be visible in the section – this is especially true for a festive table when you are waiting for guests.

You can cook more rice, because you will want to experiment with fillings later.

Adjust the proportions of vinegar and other ingredients at the gas station. After the first or second time, you will learn how to do it.

Wrapping the roll, help with your fingers – crushing the stuffing and rice with them in each turn. Having given the roll the desired shape – round, square or triangular, press down slightly, and then let it stand so that the roll does not disintegrate when slicing.

You can not take mayonnaise, but soft cream cheese.

Important! To make rice dishes invariably delicious, read the article about the subtleties of choosing rice and the secrets of its preparation .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
