Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large prawns
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 tablespoon Ghee
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the prawns by peeling and deveining them. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat ghee over medium heat. Add prawns and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 3

While prawns are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 4

Place a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or on a sushi mat if available.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos with lemon juice for a dipping sauce.

Step 6

Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and carrot horizontally across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Add 3 cooked prawns on top of the vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and coriander leaves over the fillings.

Step 8

Begin rolling the nori tightly from the bottom, using slight pressure to keep the fillings intact. Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 11

Arrange the sushi on a serving platter and serve with the coconut aminos dipping sauce.
