Blanch the shrimp in boiling water for 1-2 minutes until partially cooked, then transfer to an ice bath. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt together.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then add the club soda.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients to form a batter.
Heat avocado oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes until tender. Mix with rice vinegar and let it cool to room temperature.
Place a sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori on top.
Spread an even layer of cauliflower rice onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch from the top edge.
Arrange 3 shrimp tempura, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice.
Add a line of keto mayonnaise across the filling.
Using the sushi mat, tightly roll the sushi starting from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to keep it firm.
Once rolled, slice the roll into 6 even pieces.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Serve immediately with optional soy sauce or your favorite keto-friendly sauce.
