You read it right, I dreamt up a Paleo sushi recipe, and put it into action! I absolutely love sushi, but the rice and all the soy sauce are bad bad bad! To make one of my favorite treats healthier, I looked to the Paleo diet. I invited my lovely friend Jess (who has become my paleo guru) over, and we had a lovely time making sushi and letting our pups play.
Before I get started on my recipe, I want to thank all the gracious bloggers who have given me awards. I am so sorry I have not posted them. I have 3 weeks left of law school and I’m drowning under research. I am afraid I may not post while I am studying for the FL Bar and I will likely not be up to date with what all you lovely bloggers are doing. I can’t wait until it is all over and I can have fun again. That being said, I found a wonderful blog, written by a beautiful girl, that I would like to say is definitely one of the bloggers I would pass an award on to. Check her out at Cibus Amare❤
Sushi Ingredients:
1/3 lb uncooked shrimp with no shells
1/3 lb sushi grade salmon (cut lengthwise)
2 mexican avocados (or one of the larger kinds)
1/2 a lime
1 cucumber (peeled and cut lengthwise)
about 1/3 of a can of coconut milk
about 1/3 a cup of coconut flour
coconut oil on hand
nori seaweed paper
Soy Sauce Substitute:
a splash of coconut milk
sriracha (as much as you like, I like a lot)
Directions:
First, I covered the raw shrimp in coconut milk and put them in my fridge for a couple hours. Then, I coated each piece with coconut flour and fried them in coconut oil. I only used enough coconut oil to coat the pan, and had to watch out for a few splatters. When the shrimp were done cooking, I chopped off their tails, and cut them in half lengthwise. However, while the shrimp were cooking, I put all my avocado meat and hand squeezed my lime half into my magic bullet and combined them. When that was done, I laid out nori on my bamboo sushi roller and stacked all my ingredients (closer to the top half ) on my nori. Then, I smeared a little of the avocado paste on the nori and rolled. I repeated this process 5 times. Then, I cut my rolles into bite sized pieces. I don’t own a very sharp knife, so this was a little difficult for me, since the avocado makes this a more moist roll. My advice would be to use your sharpest knife.
John’s mom gave me this fun sushi plate and I am glad I finally got to use it. Jessica and I had so much fun, and the sushi was absolutely delicious! A definite win for the Paleo world.
Love it! Love it so much I’m pinning it! Get that research completed! The Bar is coming soon and I know you are so busy as there is much flurry at this house as well. Jered said the other day he had 11 more days of class………..yours is probably roughly the same. You’re on the downhill side and very soon you will have completed a major milestone in your life. Congratulations! I expect to see a picture of you in your hood and gown as soon as it arrives! Take care. I’ll miss your posts!
Thank you so much! Good Luck to Jered! Lucky him, he will have a job waiting. That makes finishing the bar sooo much sweeter:]
You will too! Of course since I work in public service, I want to extol the virtues of legal help for those who are disenfranchised, and while there isn’t as much money in it as private practice – you feel really good most of the time! 🙂
Wow beautiful! Good job! Let’s see Florida bar vs. posting on your blog…..I don’t know, close call, but I guess we will let this one slide! lol, I wish you well on all your studying and taking the bar! Good luck!
Thank you soooo much! I will deff try and post to calm myself in my free time. I will keep yall updated. I just may not be really timely and definately won’t be able to interact as well as I would like.
So obsessed with all these ingredients!! Want to do this!! Xoxox
Thanks my loveeeee! Do it this weekend with the gals<3
I love, love sushi! You created a yummy one! Got to get some fresh sushi grade salmon and try this recipe. Cannot wait. No rice. Less carbs. Yea!!!
Thank you! Good luck with your exams – even if you can’t blog, keep cooking, it’s brain food!!
❤ I deff will. I will likely just be terrible at keeping up with my loves on here. My prof said it is good to take an hour every day, so I may even post. I don't know yet. Just very terrified.
Oh sushi, be still my heart. Love this!
Hi!
I had no idea about the paleo diet…It sounds fine, I’m on a low carbs diet right now and this one sounds very similar to the montignac diet. How is it working for you?
Good luck with the exams 😉
I am terrible at keeping up with it. I try to just cut out some of the bad things every day, but it is very intricate. You must look it up. All my friends with the time to do it, look amazing and feel great!
Good luck on your exams! But don’t ignore us! 🙂
Oops, I meant “forget about” 😉
I defiantly won’t! I am going to try to continue posting, and I know I will be bad and scan you and the rest of my faves, just may not be as good at keeping up with posts and interacting.
I hear you! I’ve got like 60 posts to read! I’m getting behind, *and* starting to teach a course on business blogging on Monday. *screams* 🙂
What yummy looking sushi rolls! Delicious.
Good luck on your Bar Exams!!! I know that can be so stressful so it is a good thing you made this lovely healthy sushi dish to get you through your difficult study days. Take care, BAM
Wow! Sushi seems so hard to make – well the rolling part of it. Awesome work!!
That’s the easy part lol find a video on Youtube!
AWESOME!!! I will be greedy and take a double portion of this please. Best of luck with your studies!
🙂 Mandy
Delish. I have to make these.
Very impressive, I make sushi every so often but would never have thought to do it without rice!
There are so many ways to try and get away from the rice, but I really like this. I was full full full and it was delicious!
What a wonderful recipe! So creative! haha. I should definitely try this one out. In a way I’m kind of sick of the regular sushi because I worked at 2 sushi restaurants when I was going to university.. Speaking of which…. good luck on your bar exam!! All the best! 😀
OMG! Lucky! I bet you ate sooo much sushi lol This still tastes pretty regular though.
I am so impressed! I don’t think I’d have the guts to even attempt sushi. This looks very good! And good luck with your classes (and the upcoming Bar) – I think we’ll all understand if you’re a tad preoccupied. 🙂
Really very impressive. To make sushi at home and you have done a phenomenal job of it.
What beautiful sushi rolls my friend – you are most talented to be able to make such exquisite oriental creations at home 😀
Cheers

I’m not a huge sushi person at all, but I really do love how you did these. Everything just looks so decadent and wonderful
This looks absolutely delicious! I’ve never braved the world of homemade sushi before so kudos to you!
You’re sooo inventive.. I love this paleo version of sushi!!
my gluten-free son LOVES sushi, but it is so hard to find some without gluten. I am bookmarking this – he would LOVE it! Great recipe, love the creativity!
