Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined 16/20 count
  • 12 ounces frozen cauliflower rice
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 3 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 slices lime for garnish

Method
 

  1. Peel and devein the shrimp, then dry with a paper towel. In a bowl, season the shrimp with garlic, salt, paprika, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of butter until melted (about 20 seconds). Add the cauliflower rice and sauté until the water evaporates and it cooks through (about 10 minutes).
  3. Turn off the heat. Scoop the cauliflower rice from the pan into a serving bowl. Add cilantro and lime juice, then mix. Add additional lime juice to taste, if needed.
  4. In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of butter over high heat until lightly browned (about 15 seconds). Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes per side.
  5. Serve the shrimp over the cauliflower rice. Garnish with additional cilantro, ground pepper, and an optional squeeze of lime over the shrimp.

Notes

*Nutritional information provided for this recipe is only an estimate and is not guaranteed.
  • There is no need to defrost the frozen cauliflower rice, it will quickly thaw and cook when sauteeing in the pan.
  • Do not overcook the rice, it’ll end up being too soft and soggy. You will still want the cauliflower to have a bit of a bite. 
  • If preferred, you can also replace the butter for avocado or olive oil. 
  • This shrimp and cauliflower rice bowl goes great with some spicy sauce like Cholula or Sriracha!
