Sushi Salad…



I tried a new recipe yesterday and thought some of you might enjoy it; it will serve five people.  I like sushi, but don’t really have the budget to eat it all the time. This recipe will give you all most the element of sushi without having to learn to how to roll.

The recipe calls for small, shelled, cooked shrimp. I would suggest if you can find small bay shrimp, you use them. They are tiny and sweet and would be perfect for this recipe. If you don’t like or are allergic to shrimp, try substituting crab or imitation crabmeat.

The directions state to use five large butter lettuce leaves, to place each serving on. Instead of using large butter head, lettuce leaves, I bought a package of chopped butter lettuce.

Even thought the recipe did not call for it, it placed a few dots of Wasabi on my plate and it really made a big difference. When I do buy sushi, I usually eat the pickled ginger first. Yes, I know it is to go on top of the sushi, but I love to eat it. I purposely avoid the sushi aisle at the Asian market, so I won’t buy a big old jar of it!
