Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, quartered
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon Liquid Aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mixed chopped veggies (fresh or frozen)
- Cooking spray (olive or coconut oil)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:
- Take each quarter of the cauliflower head and use a cheese grater to create small, rice-like pieces. This is your cauliflower “rice.” Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook the Cauliflower Rice:
- Preheat a large, deep non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes slightly golden. Be careful not to let it burn.
- In the last minute of cooking, add ½ teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoon of Liquid Aminos to the cauliflower rice. Stir well to combine. Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower rice to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp:
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chopped shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
- Add the Vegetables:
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mixed chopped veggies to the shrimp. If you’re using frozen veggies, this will warm them up nicely.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Combine and Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cauliflower rice. Mix everything together so the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Serve your shrimp, veggies, and cauliflower rice meal prep with fresh cabbage leaves or enjoy it on its own for a satisfying low-carb meal.
How to Store:
- Divide the shrimp, veggies, and cauliflower rice evenly among your meal prep containers. Seal the containers tightly with lids.
- Store the containers in the refrigerator. These meals will stay fresh for up to 4 days, making them perfect for a week of lunches or dinners.
How to Reheat:
- To reheat, simply microwave each portion for 1-2 minutes or until warmed through. You can also reheat the meal in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot. If reheating from frozen, allow the meal to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
