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!
