Hello Peeps! I’ve been hard at work on the e-cookbook in the last few days, and I’m super excited about some of the recipes! So excited in fact that it was hard for me not to post some of them right away, and just come up with new ones for the book!

Instant gratification – I’m all about it!

But I’m showing incredible will power by staying strong! You’ll have to wait for the book to see them. This one however was on my list of recipes to make for the blog, and I’m happy to say it’s both easy and delicious!

I love spicy tuna rolls, but it always skeeves me out to make my own at home from grocery store tuna. I know the restaurant probably scrapes the bits off of the floor behind the sushi bar to make them, but I’d still rather have a professional handling my raw fish preparation!

It’s a thing, I can’t explain it!

I’ve made a version using Surimi (imitation crab) that’s very tasty, but the Surimi is pretty high in sugar so it’s out for anybody watching their carbs. Enter – cooked shrimp! You can cook it yourself or even buy it pre-cooked, for this recipe it won’t matter.

I will say this – hand rolls are a pain to make! This is the first time I’ve tried making them, and I think I prefer regular rolls, which I have a lot more experience with. I’m not sure they are easier to make for a beginner, but they don’t leave you with a hunk of nori at the bottom that feels like shoe leather like the hand rolls do.

You can make this either way – or just eat the shrimp filling in a salad or by itself by the spoonful. Yum! I didn’t have any avocado on hand or I would have used it. I almost wish I waited until I bought more avocados to make these, because I think it would be really delicious with the avocado added. Next time for sure! Hope you like them!

Here is a great tutorial video if you’ve never done it. The video is three minutes long but if you are only interested in the rolling part, fast forward to about 2 minutes and 20 seconds into it.
