Craving sushi but staying low-carb? This Healthy Lean & Green Shrimp Sushi Stack hits the spot!

We all crave sushi now and then — but if you’re following a low-carb or Optavia 5 & 1 plan, traditional rolls are off the menu. This light, refreshing Healthy Lean & Green Shrimp Sushi Stack gives you all the sushi vibes without the rice overload!
I took the original Spicy California Shrimp Stack recipe from Skinnytaste and gave it a healthy makeover using riced cauliflower instead of brown rice.
Having trouble finding riced cauliflower at your local store? Grab the one I use on Amazon — it’s quick, easy, and perfect for meal prep!
Whether you’re prepping for the week, packing for a beach trip, or serving a fun DIY sushi night with friends, this recipe is an easy win.
🧂 Ingredients (1 Serving — Optavia 5&1 Compliant)
LEAN:
7 oz pre-cooked tail-off shrimp (chopped)
GREEN:
3.17 oz cauliflower rice
2.10 oz diced cucumber
1.76 oz scallions
HEALTHY FAT:
1.5 oz avocado (chopped)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
CONDIMENTS:
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp sriracha (optional drizzle)
🥣 Directions: How to Make the Healthy Lean & Green Shrimp Sushi Stack
Chop shrimp, cucumber, scallions, and avocado.
In a bowl, mix cauliflower rice with soy sauce.
Layer in a cup or bowl: cauliflower rice, cucumber, avocado, shrimp.
Drizzle with sriracha and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Optional: To make it pretty, use a 1-cup measuring cup to form your “stack.” Flip it onto a plate, drizzle with sriracha, and sprinkle with sesame seeds for that sushi-bar look.
🧊 Meal Prep Tip
Pack everything in separate containers for easy on-the-go assembly. The Healthy Lean & Green Shrimp Sushi Stack is perfect for a beach weekend or work-week lunches! Just keep the avocado separate until ready to eat to avoid browning.

💡 Alternative Option (Original Version)
If you’re not counting carbs or following a plan, substitute ½ cup cooked brown or white rice for the cauliflower rice.
This recipe was inspired by the original Spicy California Shrimp Stack from Skinnytaste.
