Ingredients

• 250 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 1 ripe avocado
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 1 small carrot
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Add sea salt and stir. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and pink. Remove from heat and let them cool.

Step 4

Slice the avocado, cucumber, and carrot into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving an inch at the top edge.

Step 7

Arrange prawn halves, avocado, cucumber, and carrot horizontally across the center of the rice.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat to help, carefully roll the nori sheet over the filling and continue rolling until the end. Moisten the top edge with water to seal the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 10

Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and serve with coconut aminos for dipping.
