Ingredients

Lime and Ginger Shrimp

  • 10 oz Large Shrimp tail-off, peeled, and deveined (I used thawed from frozen)
  • 1 Tbsp 16g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2-1 Tbsp Ginger minced (to taste)
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1/8 tsp Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Lime

Coconut Cauliflower Rice

  • 12 oz bag Frozen Cauliflower Rice or 1 head of cauliflower, riced
  • 2/3 C 160g Unsweetened Coconut Milk, full fat
  • 1 handful Cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Microwave the frozen cauliflower rice for 5-6 minutes. (Cut to vent and set aside when finished.)
  • If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw ahead of time or place them in a strainer under running cool water for 5 minutes. Prepare the ginger and garlic while the shrimp thaws. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the thawed shrimp.

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add the garlic and ginger to the oil and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds, before adding the shrimp.

  • Add the cauliflower rice to the same skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes until no oil or visible moisture remains before adding the coconut milk.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until very little moisture remains. Remove from the heat and stir in a bit of fresh cilantro, if desired.

  • Plate the rice and top with shrimp. Zest a lime over the top before slicing it in half and adding a squeeze of lime juice to the shrimp. Enjoy!
