On Plan Sushi


 
Spicy Shrimp Sushi with Shrimp&Pepper Stir Fry
Created by Jessica Johns

Ingredients:
7oz (cooked weight) cooked shrimp, tails removed (1 leanest)
1 ¼ cup loosely chopped cauliflower (2 ½ greens)
¼ cup thinly sliced red pepper (1/2 green)
¾ oz sliced avocado (1/2 healthy fat)
1 nori sushi wrap *must be only 1 carb per wrap (1 condiment)
1 wedge Light Swiss Laughing Cow cheese (1/2 healthy fat)
½ tsp szechuan sauce *must have 1 or less carbs/serving (1/2 condiment)
¼ tsp wasabi paste *must have 1 carb per serving (1/2 condiment)
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce ( 1 condiment)

Total meal = 1 leanest protein, 3 greens, 3 condiments and 1 healthy fat
• the leanest category requires 2 healthy fats so make sure you get in that extra healthy fat sometime during your day!

Directions:
-Place thawed shrimp with tails removed into a small ziplock bag with szechuan sauce and place in fridge for an hour or more.
-Steam chopped cauliflower until very tender then partially dry on a paper towel. Mash cauliflower on a plate and mix in 1 wedge of light laughing cow cheese.
-stir fry shrimp quickly in a nonstick pan to warm up. Loosely chop 1/3-1/2 of the shrimp into smaller pieces.
-place 1 nori wrap onto either a bamboo sushi mat, or a piece of waxed paper. Spread cauliflower&cheese mixture onto middle of nori keeping mixture approx ½ inch away from all sides.
-layer ¾ of the peppers, avocado and the chopped portion of shrimp on top of each other and on top of the cauliflower&cheese mixture at the end of the nori closest to you in a line horizontally.
- carefully begin to roll nori wrap into a sushi tube, following by wrapping the sushi “tube” with the waxed paper and compressing gently to form a more condensed roll.
-using a sharp knife, slice “tube” into the smaller sushi rolls and place on plate gently (they are fragile)
-stir fry remaining shrimp and peppers quickly in that same nonstick pan and place into a small serving bowl and serve with sushi rolls
-use soy sauce and wasabi as dipping condiments for rolls
Enjoy!!
