Rice rolls can be filled before or after they are steamed. If you’re placing the filling in the pre-steamed roll, you effectively use the same steam to cook the roll as you do what’s inside it. Cool, right? Shrimp rolls are like that. The slightly sweet but mostly textural wrapper of the rice roll is the canvas for the sweetness of the shrimp.
