Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 large Avocados
• 1 small Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 1 handful Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the shrimp. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, then boil the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain immediately and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the shrimp cools, slice the cucumbers and red bell pepper into thin julienned strips.

Step 3

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and gently scoop out the flesh. Lay the avocado halves flat with the inner side down, and slice each half lengthwise into thin slices.

Step 4

Mix the lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make a seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Lay a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface. Place slices of avocado slightly overlapping each other on the nori sheet, mimicking a low-carb 'rice' layer.

Step 6

Generously drizzle the lime seasoning mixture over the avocado slices.

Step 7

On top of the avocado layer, horizontally place shrimp (3 per roll), followed by a few strips of cucumber and bell pepper, and a couple of cilantro leaves for freshness.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the ingredients for an added crunchy texture.

Step 9

Carefully, roll the nori over the fillings, gently pressing as you roll to ensure a tight, compact form. Use a bamboo sushi mat for better control if necessary.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, moistened with water, slice the roll into equal sections. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Plate and serve the rolls with small dishes of soy sauce and a dab of wasabi for dipping.
