Amaebi Nigiri is a classic and elegant sushi dish that allows the natural sweetness of the sweet shrimp to shine. To make this nigiri, you will need fresh amaebi, sushi rice, wasabi, and soy sauce. Start by preparing the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once the rice is ready, let it cool slightly. Meanwhile, peel the amaebi and remove the heads. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise, but keep the tail intact. Take a small amount of sushi rice and shape it into a rectangular mound. Place a small amount of wasabi on top of the rice and gently press half of the sliced amaebi onto it. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Serve the amaebi nigiri with soy sauce on the side. The simplicity of this dish allows the delicate sweetness of the sweet shrimp to be the star, making it a perfect choice for sushi lovers who appreciate the subtle flavors of high-quality seafood.
