Amaebi sushi is a popular Japanese dish that showcases the delicate and sweet flavor of amaebi (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. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly. Meanwhile, peel the amaebi and remove the heads. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise, but keep the tail intact. Next, take a small handful of sushi rice and shape it into a rectangular block. Place a slice of amaebi on top of the rice, and wrap a strip of nori around it to hold it in place. Serve the amaebi sushi with a side of soy sauce and wasabi for dipping. The combination of the sweet shrimp and the vinegared rice creates a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
