| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Make 3 shallow cuts at 1½-inch intervals across the inner curves of each shrimp. Because this will straighten them, they will be easier to wrap.
|
2. Combine the mirin, soy sauce and a few sprinkles of MSG in a bowl, add the shrimp and stir them about to moisten them thoroughly. Marinate for about 30 minutes.
|
3. Preheat the broiler to its highest point. Roll the shrimp tightly in the individual pieces of nori, and arrange them, seam side down, on a baking sheet.
|
4. Broil about 3 inches from the heat for about 3 minutes, or until the nori is glazed and the shrimp firm. Cut into ½-inch-long bits and serve the wrapped shrimp hot.
