Ingredients

Preparation Method



Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Take the cauliflower florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, season with salt and black pepper, and stir well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Next, let's move on to the star of the dish - the shrimp. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring occasionally. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the shrimps. Season them with salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimps until they turn pink, which should take about 2-4 minutes on each side. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and give everything a good stir.

Now that both components of the dish are ready, it's time to assemble. Spoon the cauliflower rice onto plates or a large serving platter. Top with the garlic butter shrimp, making sure to drizzle any remaining butter sauce over the top. Garnish with additional chopped parsley.

Tips and Conclusion


This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. For a bit of crunch, try adding toasted almonds or walnuts to the cauliflower rice. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply reheat before serving.
