Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then chop it into small florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they become rice-sized pieces. Do this in batches if necessary.
In a large skillet, cook the cauliflower rice over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in the rice vinegar and salt, then set aside to cool.
While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the shrimp. Ensure they are cooked, peeled, and deveined. Butterfly each shrimp by slicing them lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Cut each nori sheet into 4 equal squares using scissors or a sharp knife.
Lay a small amount of cooled cauliflower rice in the center of each nori square and lightly press down to secure it.
Place a piece of butterflied shrimp on top of the cauliflower rice. Optionally, add a small amount of wasabi beneath the shrimp for an extra kick.
Arrange a cucumber julienne and a slice of avocado beside the shrimp on each piece.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori squares and ingredients.
Serve the Whole30 Ebi Sushi with coconut aminos for dipping.
