Description
A delicious and healthy Spicy Shrimp and Cauliflower Rice Bowl that combines marinated shrimp with sautéed cauliflower rice, topped with fresh avocado and herbs.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are well coated and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- While the shrimp is marinating, prepare the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then cut it into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the riced cauliflower and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with the cooked shrimp, sliced avocado, chopped green onions, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce on top of the bowls.
- You can substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
