Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Avocado oil
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 8 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant coconut aminos
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and stir in the rice vinegar, avocado oil, and salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread about 1/4 of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.
Place 2 shrimp, few slices of cucumber, carrot, and avocado across the center of the cauliflower rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6 pieces and serve with coconut aminos.
