Small rice mounds hold cooked shrimp with a nori strip around each bite. They suit a snack you can shape and eat promptly rather than leave on a serving table for hours. Let freshly cooked rice cool only enough to handle comfortably, use clean damp hands and keep portions modest so they hold together when lifted.

FDA handling and storage conditions

Ingredient substitution

Keep nori as the ready-to-eat strip and freshly cooked rice for shaping. Rice paper requires soaking and is not handled as a dry nori replacement.
