Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp
- 1 large Cucumber, julienned
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until just tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the cooked cauliflower rice from the heat and mix in the rice vinegar. Let it cool to room temperature.
Lay a sheet of nori on a clean, flat surface, shiny side down.
Spread a thin layer of the cooled cauliflower rice on one-third of the nori sheet. Leave the other two-thirds bare.
Add a few slices of shrimp, cucumber, carrot, and avocado on top of the cauliflower rice.
Roll the nori sheet into a cone shape, starting from one corner, pressing gently to seal the edges. If needed, you can dab a little water on the edge to help seal the cone.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Serve with coconut aminos for dipping, and garnish with pickled ginger and sesame seeds if desired.
