Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0 to taste Wasabi (optional)
• 0 for serving Coconut aminos

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles the texture of rice.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Season with sea salt and lemon juice, then set aside to cool.

Step 3

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until they are pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and thinly slice the avocado flesh.

Step 5

Peel the cucumber and carrot. Slice the cucumber into thin strips and use a julienne peeler or knife for the carrot to create thin matchsticks.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Arrange shrimp, avocado slices, cucumber, and carrot in a horizontal line across the rice, about 1 inch from the bottom.

Step 9

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently to shape the roll as you go. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge with a little water.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 12

Serve with wasabi and coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
