Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 large avocados
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 pieces nori sheets
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the shrimp. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and then the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Peel and pit the avocados. Slice them lengthwise into thin slices, leaving them slightly overripe for easy wrapping.
Peel the cucumber and slice it into long, thin strips, resembling the thickness of matchsticks.
Lay down the nori sheets on a flat surface. Arrange the avocado slices in a single layer over each nori sheet, covering most of the surface area.
Evenly distribute the cooked shrimp and cucumber matchsticks across the avocado-covered nori sheets.
Chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the shrimp and cucumber.
Squeeze the lime juice evenly over the ingredients and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Carefully roll up the nori sheet, starting from one end. Use gentle pressure to keep the roll tight and secure without tearing the nori.
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into equal segments, resembling sushi rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Avocado Shrimp Roll!
