Amaebi sushi is a delightful and elegant dish that showcases the delicate flavor of sweet shrimp. To make this sushi, you will need fresh amaebi, sushi rice, nori seaweed, wasabi, and soy sauce. First, prepare the sushi rice by washing and cooking it according to the package instructions. While the rice is still warm, season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Next, peel the amaebi and remove the heads, keeping the tails intact. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise, but not all the way through, to create a butterfly shape. Place a small amount of wasabi on top of each shrimp. Now, it's time to assemble the sushi. Take a sheet of nori and place a thin layer of sushi rice on top. Lay the shrimp on the rice, with the tails sticking out. Roll the sushi tightly and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Serve the amaebi sushi with soy sauce and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
