  • 2
    Cut and discard center ribs from romaine leaves. Cut leaves into strips, about 5 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice and ginger; spread on each romaine strip.
  • 3
    Spoon about 1 tablespoon rice mixture over each strip to within 1 inch of 1 end. Place 3 or 4 vegetable strips on center of each romaine strip. Roll up; secure with toothpick. Top each with 1 shrimp. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

  • Use only the medium-grain rice called for in the recipe because the stickiness of this rice helps hold the rolls together. soy sauce for dipping. Or mix a pinch of wasabi (Japanese horseradish) powder with soy sauce until you find a flavor balance that suits your taste.
