I have been pairing a lot lately with cauliflower rice. From different types of chicken to salmon, I have now decided to pair it with one of my favorites: shrimp. I seasoned the shrimp with garlic, butter, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Then I serve the shrimp with a nice side of cauliflower rice and enjoy!
