Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Avocado oil
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 8 pieces Cooked shrimp
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant coconut aminos

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 medium skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir in the rice vinegar, avocado oil, and salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 3

Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 4

Place 2 shrimp, few slices of cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 5

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pieces and serve with coconut aminos.
