Ingredients in Shrimp Sushi Roll Uramaki
- Sushi Rice — from failproof Instant Pot sushi rice recipe
- Nori Sheet — prepared sushi nori sheets, you should be able to find in most grocery stores.
- Shrimp Mix— See below for recipe. It’s made of cold water shrimp, usually found in the frozen seafood section of grocery stores. You can also purchase cold water shrimp at IKEA Supermarket.
- Bell Pepper — sliced bell pepper, any color.
- Cucumber — sliced into long strips.
- Chives — add some whole fresh chives, optional.
- Seaweed Pearls — IKEA Supermarket may have seaweed pearls (fish roe caviar substitute) or if you can find fish roe caviar you can use that instead.
- Lemon Zest — fresh lemon zest adds a tangy flavor.
Ingredients in Shrimp Salad Mix
Use the ingredients below to make a simple batch of shrimp salad mix.
If you have leftover skagenröra, from Toast Skagen or shrimp from shrimp salad sandwich mix, this is a perfect recipe enjoy any extras! In that case, just use either of those leftover shrimp mixes instead of preparing the one below.
- Shrimp — cold water shrimp, in frozen seafood section of grocery, or IKEA Supermarket if you have a location nearby.
- Labneh — thick Turkish yogurt cheese, similar to cream cheese. We love to use this as a substitute for mayo in just about all of our recipes. It is satisfying and you won’t ever miss the mayo. When we plan in advance (it takes 8 hours) we love to make a batch of easy Instant Pot homemade thick and creamy yogurt. Strain it well and use it instead of labneh.
- Sour Cream — regular sour cream, not light or fat free. You can sub plain yogurt, Instant Pot homemade yogurt or Dahi a plain yogurt curd found in Indian grocery stores.
- Lemon Juice — freshly pressed lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Hot Sauce — a bit of hot sauce is optional, but gives a nice zing to the mix.
- Salt — Himalayan pink salt, ground.
How To Make Shrimp Sushi Roll Uramaki
STEP 1: Make The Shrimp Mix
Add the ingredients for shrimp mix into a medium bowl.
Mix well.
STEP 2: Spread Sushi Rice on Nori Sheet
STEP 3: Spread the Shrimp Mix On the Nori Sheet
Since we are making shrimp uramaki roll, the Nori will have the sushi rice on the bottom side, facing down, on the plastic sheet.
Spread the shrimp mix in an even layer on the nori sheet, as shown.
STEP 4: Add The Veggies
Add the vegetables and lemon zest to the bottom portion of the shrimp, as pictured below.
STEP 5: Roll it Up
Transfer the nori sheet with toppings, as well as the plastic sheet, to a bamboo sushi mat.
Use the mat and plastic sheet, to roll the shrimp uramaki sushi up into a tight roll.
STEP 6: Cut in Pieces
Once your shrimp roll is tightly rolled up, you may need to trim the ends, if flimsy.
Use a sushi cutting knife or a thin serrated knife can work well.
Next, you’ll cut the shrimp sushi roll into equal pieces about a half an inch wide.
Add sesame seeds to the top of the shrimp sushi roll.
Using a small spoon, carefully add the fish roe caviar or fish roe substitute (seaweed pearls) on the top of the sushi.
What To Serve With Shrimp Sushi Roll Uramaki
Shrimp sushi uramaki rolls are typically served with soy sauce or tamari, homemade spicy sriracha sushi dipping sauce (spicy mayo), pickled ginger and wasabi.
For more side dish or appetizer ideas, try miso soup, seaweed salad (wakame), chicken or beef teriyaki and Japanese potstickers (gyoza).
Since a batch of failproof Instant Pot sushi rice makes enough for eight sushi rolls, your best bet is to prepare more homemade sushi rolls, sushi bowls, etc.
The sushi rolls are filling as they are without any appetizers or sides, although if you want to prepare any of the extra dishes, they can be really nice as well.

Although, the sushi rice will change texture and harden, making it best to consume these fresh or as soon as possible, within a day or two.
