Love sushi? Try these four prawns sushi recipes! Homemade sushi can feel rewarding to master and make for yourself and friends. Prawns are a good starter protein for sushi because they’re easy to prepare compared with other seafood.
California Prawns Rolls
California rolls are super popular at sushi restaurants because of their crunchy, fun texture. They’re simple and easy to make. Here’s how to make a California Prawns Roll:
Chop up some onions and coat them in a well-blended mixture of milk, garlic powder, white pepper, salt, onion powder, and salt. Fry them in a saucepan until crispy then place on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Afterwards, place inside a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to smash them into tiny pieces.
Remove the flesh from avocados and cut them lengthwise into thin strips. Cut some Nori Seaweed Sheets in half. Make rice, then when it’s cooked, blend into it a mixture of one-thirds cup vinegar, one tablespoon of salt, and two tablespoons of sugar.
Peel and devein prawns then coat in a batter of your choice, which is optional. Fry the battered prawns (or as they are) in a saucepan with oil using medium heat until the batter is golden brown or until the bare prawns turn pink.
Lay some wax paper onto your kitchen work area. Set down the Nori sheet with the rough side facing up and then place some rice on top of it. Turn the entire Nori sheet over. Place some of the avocado slices and the prawns parallel to each other onto the Nori sheet.
Roll the Nori sheet up, using the wax paper, if needed, to help you roll your California prawns roll. The sushi rice should be outside and everything neatly tucked inside. Sprinkle the fried onions onto the outside onto the rice. Make as many as you want, then serve and enjoy! You can also chill the California prawns rolls between fifteen minutes to two hours before serving.

Garlic Prawns Sushi Rolls
This prawns sushi recipe has a sour, sweet taste because it incorporates garlic and lemon juice. It’s actually easier to make than the California prawns roll, and you get another option for flavor with this one!
Slice four cloves of garlic. Remove half the flesh of an avocado and thinly slice it. Peel and devein six ounces of prawns. Make half a cup of rice and once cooked, mix into it vinegar and salt until it tastes like sushi rice or your preference.
Sautee the garlic using extra virgin olive oil until it’s brown. Add half a teaspoon of paprika, a fourth teaspoon of lemon pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir and mix well until the prawns turn pink. Remove from heat source then chop the prawns into small pieces.
Put down some wax paper and then lay down two nori seaweed sheets and spread the rice evenly on the rough side of the nori sheets, except for the ends. Flip the sheets and put the prawns, garlic, and avocado slices in the middle of both sheets. Roll the sheets, making sure to intermittently push firmly to make sure the rolls stay tight. Use the wax paper to help press firmly once you finish rolling to help seal and compact the roll.
Cut the finished roll into about eight pieces and garnish with sesame seeds, kimchi, and wasabi paste. Serve and enjoy!

Chop two stalks of green onions. Remove the flesh of an avocado and cut it into thin slices. Cut a Persian cucumber into two-inch slices. Peel and devein prawns.
Heat up one tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan. Cook the prawns until pink, then cut coarsely and place into a bowl with the green onions, three tablespoons of mayonnaise, and 1.5 tablespoons of sriracha. Toss and mix until the prawns are well-mixed and uniformly coated.
Cook two cups of rice, and then turn it into sushi rice by mixing it uniformly with one tablespoon of vinegar and a pinch each of sugar and salt.
Lay down some wax paper and put down 12 nori seaweed sheets with the rough side facing up. Cut them in half lengthwise, then cut two inches from each of the ends. Place one tablespoon of sushi rice on one end, pressing it flat with the back of a spoon. Place one tablespoon of the prawns mix on top of the sushi rice, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. On top of that, place two avocado slices, about five slices of the Persian cucumber, and a pinch of microgreens.
Roll the prawns roll up by grabbing the corner of the nori seaweed sheet and rolling it diagonally until it reaches the other corner. Seal the ends of the roll by pressing firmly with wet fingers. Serve and enjoy!
