Step-by-step
- Place the prawns (or shrimps) in a bowl and add the Sriracha sauce and the mayonnaise. Season with salt, mix and set aside. I used shrimps which are smaller than prawns but you can use either.
- Meanwhile, prepare the sticky cauli-rice. Cut the cauliflower into smaller florets and make the "cauli-rice" using a grater or a food processor with a grating blade.
- Place the cauli-rice into a large hot pan greased with ghee and cook for 7-8 minutes over a medium heat. Season with salt and stir frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Place the cooked cauliflower in a bowl and let it cool down to room temperature. Then, add the vinegar and mayonnaise (or cream cheese) and mix until well combined.
- Assemble the rolls. Top each nori sheet with a quarter of the cauliflower rice mixture, spicy prawns, and sliced avocado.
- Using your hands, starting from the bottom left corner, tightly roll into a cone shape. Wet the edges of the seaweed to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 days. The nori sheets will get soft once you assemble it and the avocado will brown so it's better to assemble the wraps just before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for Success:
- Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the final taste. Opt for the freshest prawns, avocado, and cauliflower available.
- Don't Overcook the Cauli-Rice: Aim for a tender-crisp texture. Overcooked cauli-rice can become mushy.
- Adjust Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your preference. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with a smaller amount and add more to taste.
- Assemble Just Before Serving: To prevent the nori sheets from getting soggy and the avocado from browning, assemble the rolls just before serving.
