This recipe is inspired by the lobster rolls at Musha, a Japanese restaurant we used to frequent before they closed down. They had these delicious lobster sushi rolls wrapped in soy paper and they were a perfect low carb/keto dish!
These rolls were so good, you couldn’t eat just one and most of the time we would end up getting at least a few orders for the entire table.
Well since the restaurant shut down and we could no longer eat those beloved lobster rolls, we took matters into our own hands and created our own copycat version which in our opinion are just as good if not better!
Surprisingly, this dish is very easy to make at home and only takes a few minutes to put everything together.
And, unlike regular sushi rolls, these are easy to roll up which means you will be chowing down in no time at all.
These little sushi bites are like sweet lobster goodness paired with the crunch of cucumbers and creaminess of avocado and mayo that makes you want to eat 100 of them!
So simple and good that you’ll have to make them yourself to believe it!
For the purpose of accessibility and practicality I used frozen langostino tails in place of lobster that I purchased at Trader Joes, a neighborhood grocery store very popular in the US. You can also find frozen langostino tails at most supermarkets.
Langostino tails are little shrimp looking tails that have a sweet and delicate flavor similar to that of lobster.
When prepared in a sushi roll, the taste and texture fair very well to that of lobster.
Also, I think it’s worth mentioning that it’s very important to us that we make recipes with ingredients that are reasonably easy to find and not incredibly pricey to buy.
That way, more people from all over the world can make and enjoy our recipes!
This dish is low carb/keto friendly at ~1g per serving (6 pieces), so a great choice for low carb/keto sushi that tastes great!
The ingredients you would need for this one would be Kewpie Mayo, Masago roe and Soy Paper. You can pick both up at a local Asian supermarket or the Kewpie Mayo and Soy Paper on Amazon and the Masago roe at this online store I found.
Note – if you are planning to make a meal out of this, 1 person would probably need around 18-24 pieces.
Now, let’s get started!
