Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Soft-shell crab
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Pork rind crumbs
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 4 sheets Seaweed sheets (nori)
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1 cup Coconut oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for keto)
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower sushi rice substitute by microwaving the cauliflower rice for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool slightly and mix in cream cheese and rice vinegar. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator while preparing other ingredients.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and pork rind crumbs. Beat the egg in a separate bowl.
Dip each soft-shell crab into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour and pork rind mixture.
Heat coconut oil or avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the soft-shell crabs for about 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips.
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi rolling mat, shiny side down. Spread an even layer of the cauliflower rice substitute onto the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and a piece of crispy fried soft-shell crab across the center of the rice layer.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori into a tight cylinder, sealing the edge with a bit of water to help it stick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make all rolls.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to create a spicy mayo sauce.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, damp knife.
Serve the Keto Spider Rolls with a drizzle of spicy mayo and soy sauce or coconut aminos on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
