Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw shrimp
• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until the texture resembles rice.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Once cooled, place the cauliflower rice in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This is crucial to avoid soggy sushi rolls.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix the cauliflower rice with rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Step 5

Peel, devein, and cook the shrimp in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 6

Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin strips. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice into thin strips as well.

Step 7

Place one nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch clear at the top edge.

Step 9

Spread a small amount of cream cheese across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 10

Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and cooked shrimp evenly across the cream cheese.

Step 11

Using the sushi mat or plastic wrap, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying even pressure to create a tight log. Seal the edge with a little water if needed.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 13

Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Step 14

Garnish each piece with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 15

Serve immediately with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
