Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Pot (for steaming cauliflower)
  • Colander (for draining shrimp, if needed)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the cauliflower: Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine the cauliflower and shrimp: Add the steamed cauliflower to the skillet with the shrimp. Stir gently to combine, letting the cauliflower warm up and absorb the flavors. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice and some lemon zest for extra flavor.
  4. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

  • This dish is perfect for a keto or low-carb diet. You can serve it on its own or pair it with a light salad for a complete meal
