You will need three shrimp tempura. Place one at each end of the nora sheet, then cut the third shrimp tempura, and put a piece between the other two on the nora.



Put them on the nora as shown, so that when the nora is rolled the tails of the shrimp will be visible.

Add the cucumber slice and the imitation crab slices to the nora.
