Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until rice-sized pieces form.
In a microwave-safe bowl, cover the cauliflower rice with a damp paper towel and microwave for 4-5 minutes until tender. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, squeeze out excess moisture using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
In a separate small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar substitute, and salt. Incorporate this mixture into the cauliflower rice along with the cream cheese, blending well until you achieve a sticky consistency similar to sushi rice.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Drain them and let them cool.
Peel and devein the shrimp if they aren't already, and then butterfly them by slicing partially through the back.
Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or piece of plastic wrap.
Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge without filling.
Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and three pieces of shrimp evenly across the cauliflower rice.
Using the sushi mat or plastic wrap, roll the nori tightly from the bottom, using firm pressure to shape it into a cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6 even pieces. Repeat the process to make the remaining rolls.
Serve the sushi with soy sauce for dipping.
