Prepare the Shrimp
In a large pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain.

Sushi
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions, usually with 1 1/4 cups of water. Once cooked, mix with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and let it cool.
Assemble the Sushi
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place cucumber, avocado, and fish in a line at the bottom of the rice-covered nori. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, sealing with a little water on the edge.
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
