Place the rice in a colander and rinse in cold water until the water is completely translucent.

Set aside. -

Place a sheet of nori on the mat.
-
Place the rice (brought down to room temperature) on the entire sheet, leaving a 2 cm border at the top.
Wet your fingertips to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands. -
Place the garnish at the bottom of the sheet. Cut the avocado into strips just 0.5 cm thick and place the peeled shrimp, halved lengthwise (head to tail).
Allow 2 shrimp per sheet of nori, except for small shrimp, which should be 4 per sheet. -
Next, roll up the nori sheet, making sure all the filling is tightly packed.
Trim the sides, then cut 5 makis using a sharp, toothless knife.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.Enjoy as is, or add a few slices of ginger or a dash of wasabi.
