Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease a baking dish (about 9x9 inches) with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
In a large skillet, lightly heat the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to remove excess moisture. Set aside and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked cauliflower rice to the cream cheese mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Fold in the chopped imitation crab (or shrimp) and diced cucumber. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the furikake seasoning generously over the top, followed by shredded nori strips.
Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and the mixture is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve warm with extra nori sheets or use cucumber slices as low-carb scoops. Enjoy your low-carb sushi bake!
