Deconstructed Tempura Shrimp Sushi Roll

When I created this Deconstructed Tempura Shrimp Sushi Roll, I wanted an easy way to get the flavors and textures of a sushi roll without all the fuss. This dish features crispy shrimp tempura over a bed of sticky sushi rice, topped with steamed edamame, creamy avocado and the fresh crunch of carrot and cucumber slices. The addition of fresh ginger and classic sauces/seasonings are key to achieving true sushi roll flavor. The use of a few convenient frozen ingredients streamlines the prep time so you can have this unique dish on the table before you can say SUSHI TAKEOUT! Read on for the full recipe.
