Boston roll
Cooked shrimp maki
A Boston roll is a type of sushi roll typically containing cooked shrimp, cucumber, and avocado, with the rice on the outside.
Unlike many American-style sushi rolls, it uses poached or steamed shrimp rather than raw fish, making it approachable for those hesitant about uncooked seafood: I'll start with a Boston roll since I'm new to sushi.
