Nigiri Sushi Shrimp Preparation
The Nigiri requires using big shrimps. Usually shrimps come in a frozen bag, raw or boiled. Raw shrimps are covered in greenish shell and boiled shrimps are white with red spine. Try both and pick the one that you like the most. It is up to you whether you want to boil the shrimp with shell or without.
Be careful when you buy shrimps:
! – make sure that raw shrimps are not pre-cut on the back (spine is cut);
! – make sure that boiled shrimps are not damaged (spine is damaged or spine is removed).

The Sushi Bar chief does so because he doesn’t use the whole Nori, he just makes sushi out of some part of it. Usually, a Chief cuts Nori in half and makes two small sushi rolls out of one Nori. Thus, when he cuts the sushi roll, sushi pieces look smaller, but wider. Bigger sushi pieces are usually made out of 2/3 or ¾ of the Nori and left overs are left for Nigiri.
