Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp

Ensure the cooked shrimp are completely cooled. If they are large, you might want to slice them in half lengthwise to make them easier to roll.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

Carefully slice the avocado into thin strips. Make sure the avocado is ripe but firm enough to hold its shape.

Step 3: Season the Cream Cheese (Optional)

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt. This enhances the flavor of the cream cheese.

Step 4: Assemble the Sushi Rolls

Place one sheet of nori on a sushi rolling mat (if using) or directly on a clean surface. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.

Step 5: Add Fillings

Arrange half of the shrimp and avocado slices horizontally across the cream cheese layer, near the bottom edge of the nori sheet.

Step 6: Roll the Sushi

Carefully roll the nori sheet tightly from the bottom edge, using the rolling mat (if using) to help shape it. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 8: Repeat

Repeat steps 4-7 with the remaining nori sheet, cream cheese, shrimp, and avocado.
