Instructions:

2. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

   • Place one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a sushi mat with the long end towards you.
   • Moisten your hands and mold 3/4 cup of sushi rice into a tube-like line over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on one long end of the sheet.

3. Add Fillings:

   • Place 1/4 cup shrimp, 2 carrot strips, 2 slices of avocado, 1 green onion top, and 2 cucumber strips along the top third of the rice-covered nori sheet.

4. Roll the Sushi:

   • Lift the edge of the nori closest to you and fold it over the filling.
   • Lift the bottom edge of the sushi mat and begin rolling towards the top edge, pressing firmly to keep it tight.
   • Continue rolling to the top edge and press the mat at the top to seal the roll.
   • Let the roll rest for 5 minutes with the seam side down.

5. Repeat:

   • Repeat the procedure until all 6 sheets of nori are filled and rolled.
