This Garlic Butter Shrimp Sushi-Burrito is not your average sushi roll. It's a flavor explosion in every bite! The succulent shrimp, cooked to perfection in a rich garlic butter sauce, is perfectly complemented by the savory nori and subtly sweet sushi rice. It's the ultimate fusion dish, a delightful mix of East meets West, bringing together the best of both worlds. One of my friends even suggested adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick, and that was pretty amazing too.
This recipe is surprisingly easy to make, even for those with limited sushi-making experience. It's all about building layers of deliciousness, and the outcome is so worth it! I once made this for a potluck, and it was gobbled up in minutes! Everyone was raving about the garlicky shrimp and the amazing sauce. It was so much fun seeing their faces light up when they tasted it. The feedback I got was overwhelming; they said the creamy garlic butter was an incredible pairing to the shrimp, and the seaweed provided a nice textural contrast to the soft rice.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's tackle the shrimp. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Don't let it burn! (Trust me on this.) Add 1 pound of shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Now, for the garlic butter sauce! In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 more tablespoons of minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. That's our magical sauce!
- Cook your sushi rice according to package directions. Once cooked, spread it out on a plate to cool completely. This is important, otherwise it'll be too sticky to work with. (Been there, done that!)
- Time to assemble the sushi burrito! Lay out a sheet of nori seaweed on your sushi rolling mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of the cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch of space at the top edge.
- Next, layer the cooked shrimp evenly across the rice. Drizzle generously with the garlic butter sauce. Seriously, don't be shy!
- Carefully lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you and begin rolling it tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Keep rolling until you have a tight burrito shape.
- Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the burrito in half. If you're feeling fancy, you can cut it into smaller pieces.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Shrimp Sushi-Burrito!
📝 Notes
- Make sure your shrimp is thoroughly cooked before adding it to the sushi burrito.
- You can add other ingredients to your sushi burrito, like avocado or cucumber, to make it more flavorful and colorful.
- If your sushi rice is too sticky, add a little bit of water to loosen it up.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces and garnishes to create your own unique sushi burrito!
