How to Make Special Shrimp Gunkanmaki Battleship Sushi Roll

  1. Cook sushi rice according to package directions. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the shrimp filling: Gently sauté 150g cooked shrimp with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions, and a pinch of salt and pepper until heated through. Set aside.
  3. Lay out a sheet of nori seaweed, shiny side down. Using a small bowl or cookie cutter, form a small pile of sushi rice (about 3 tablespoons) on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  4. Gently shape the rice into a slightly elongated rectangle, resembling a battleship.
  5. Spoon the shrimp filling evenly onto the rice.
  6. Carefully lift the bottom edge of the nori, wrapping it tightly around the rice and filling to form a “gunkan” (battleship) shape. Gently tuck in any loose edges.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 until all the filling is used.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade battleship sushi!
