Ingredients

1 Bag of uncooked shrimp (I used Jumbo with the shell)

1 Avocado

1 Package of Seaweed aka Nori sheets (bought from Asian store)

1/2 Gallon of vegetable oil

For Tempura Batter:

1 1/2 cup of seltzer water

4 tbsp corn starch

3 cups of water

1 bay leaf

1 tsp of salt

Mixture to make rice sticky:

1 tbsp of sugar

1/4 cups of rice vinegar

1 tsp of salt

Appliances:

Rice cooker

Fryer, if you don't have one use frying pan, or pot or whatever you have to fry.

Bamboo Sushi roller (or any sushi roller, also got this from the Asian store)

1. If needed, thaw out the shrimp by placing it in a bowl and running cold water over the shrimp continuously.
2. After thawed deshell the shrimp if necessary also removing the tail
3. After shrimp is washed place shrimp on a paper towel to completely dry the shrimp. This will allow the tempura batter to stick to the shrimp better. Put the shrimp to the side until ready to fry.

1. Add the 1 1/2 cups of rice to the rice cooker
2. Then add the 3 cups of water
3. Then add 1 tsp of salt
4. Then add the bay leaf for flavor
5. Turn on rice cooker and wait until rice is cooked
6. If you do not have a rice cooker use a pot to boil and cook the rice, use same ingredients but watch the rice as it cooks until finished.

Now we are going to make a mixture to make the rice sticky that way it sticks to the seaweed.

1. In a separate bowl mix together 1 tbsp of sugar
2. Then add 1/4 cup of rice vinegar and 1 tsp of salt
3. Remove the bay leaf from the rice and throw out.
4. After add the mixture to the rice and mix until the liquid is soaked up into the rice
5. Put rice to the side and allow rice to come to room temperature or the fridge to speed up process.

7. Then whisk together until properly mixed.

Batter may seem very liquidy, add flower or cornstarch as needed, however don't make batter to thick keep it soupy.

1. Place shrimp in batter, coat evenly and drop into oil for 5 minutes
2. After 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, take shrimp out and place on a paper towel to soak up the oil
