Nigiri Ebi: A Sushi Lover's Delight with a Dash of Irish Humor

shrimp

🥗Healthier: scallops

💰Cheaper: cooked shrimp

Scallops offer a similar texture and flavor, while cooked shrimp can be more affordable.

Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions and allow it to cool.

Mix the cooled rice with a seasoning of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

Shape the vinegared rice into small oblong mounds by hand.

Boil or steam the shrimp until fully cooked, then cool them.

Butterfly the shrimp and lightly season if desired.

Place a small dab of wasabi on top of the rice mound before laying the shrimp on top.

Gently press the shrimp onto the rice to ensure it adheres without mashing the rice.
