Ingredients

• 8 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unflavored whey protein isolate
• 1 cup avocado oil
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium avocado, sliced
• 0 as needed soy sauce, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the almond flour and coconut flour to create a flour mixture for the tempura.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly.

Step 3

Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 4

Roll the egg-coated shrimp in the flour mixture, making sure they are thoroughly covered.

Step 5

Heat the avocado oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Fry the shrimp in batches in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 7

Lay out a bamboo sushi mat and place a sheet of plastic wrap on top. Place one nori sheet on the plastic.

Step 8

Spread 1 ounce of cream cheese evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Step 9

Arrange two pieces of cooked shrimp, some cucumber julienne, and avocado slices horizontally along the bottom third of the nori.

Step 10

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly over the filling. Seal the edge with a little water.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.

Step 12

With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 8 pieces.

Step 13

Serve the rolls with soy sauce for dipping or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
