Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If purchasing pre-riced cauliflower, move on to the next step. Alternatively, wash a medium-sized cauliflower head and cut it into chunks. Pulse in a food processor until the texture resembles rice.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes until just tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Transfer the cooled cauliflower rice to a bowl and season it with rice vinegar and salt. Mix well to evenly coat the 'rice'. Adjust seasoning according to taste if needed.
Lay one sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to dampen your fingers to prevent sticking.
Spread about half a cup of the cauliflower rice mixture evenly on the bottom three-quarters of the nori sheet, leaving the top quarter of the sheet exposed.
In the center of the cauliflower rice, arrange a few strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and two shrimp.
To roll, gently lift the bamboo mat from the edge closest to you, and roll the nori over the filling. Apply gentle pressure to form a compact roll, moistening the edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Serve the sushi rolls immediately, with optional sides such as coconut aminos for dipping, keeping the Whole30 compliance in mind.
