Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large prawns
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Ghee
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Prepare the prawns by peeling and deveining them. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
In a medium skillet, heat ghee over medium heat. Add prawns and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are opaque and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
While prawns are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.
Place a nori sheet on a clean, dry surface or on a sushi mat if available.
In a small bowl, mix coconut aminos with lemon juice for a dipping sauce.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and carrot horizontally across the bottom third of the nori sheet. Add 3 cooked prawns on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds and coriander leaves over the fillings.
Begin rolling the nori tightly from the bottom, using slight pressure to keep the fillings intact. Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Once all rolls are prepared, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 6-8 pieces.
Arrange the sushi on a serving platter and serve with the coconut aminos dipping sauce.
