Shrimp is a great protein to keep in the freezer for meal prep at a moment's notice, and here we pair it with cauliflower rice and other healthy fats.
Just because a dish is low carb, it doesn't mean it lacks flavor! With a few simple ingredients, you can toss together a protein-packed Shrimp Meal Prep that is full of color and nutrition, Plus these unique ingredients, when put all together, taste delicious!
The assembly for this dish is easy. Cook the cauliflower rice in a skillet with the ghee. You can buy cauliflower rice already prepped (sometimes it's even in the freezer section), or make your own if you like. (Check out our recipe for How to Make Cauliflower Rice). Then, cook the shrimp to your liking either by pan-searing it, grilling it, or steaming it. A little salt and pepper can go a long way with shrimp, which cooks fast and takes easily to a variety of seasonings. You might also consider something like Chinese five-spice powder, or using garlic or onion powder with salt and pepper.
Pair it with fresh blueberries (naturally low-carb), avocado for some healthy fat, fiber, and protein, and beet hummus.
You can also make this dish with tofu, if you like, instead of a shrimp meal prep. Just press it with paper towels to remove the excess liquid before cutting it into small pieces and pan-searing it.
If you can't find beet hummus, feel free to substitute it with some regular hummus, or maybe even some chopped beets mixed into hummus for a colorful and nutritious boost.
Berries are typically low-carb, so you can swap out raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries instead and still keep the basic nutritional profile.
The conversation about fish and seafood sustainability is a big one, but we like wild-caught shrimp for a few reasons, when possible.
Once you've prepped and cooked this shrimp, keep in mind it's a more delicate seafood. This particular meal would taste good warm or at room temperature, but if you want to reheat it, do so gently in a skillet, with a little bit of ghee to keep it from sticking to the pan. Keep an eye on it. Shrimp cooks fast and when reheating it, you can run the risk of overcooking it.
