Ingredients
  

For the Coconut Caulirice

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
  • 2 cup cauliflower cut into florets
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Shrimp

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoon fresh garlic minced
  • ¼ medium red onion diced
  • 1 ¼ cup canned coconut milk
  • 12 ounce cooked shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 3 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat non-stick skillet to prepare cauliflower rice. Heat coconut oil listed in cauliflower rice ingredient list and sauté the unsweetened coconut flakes to slightly brown, being careful not to burn.
  • Place cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender, and pulse until the pieces resemble rice.
  • Stir riced cauliflower into skillet with coconut flakes. Sauté ingredients until riced cauliflower is softened, but not mushy. Don’t add extra liquid; let the caulirice cook in the coconut oil that is left from toasting coconut. Season with a little salt and pepper, if desired. Remove from pan and place in a covered container until ready to serve.
  • In the same pan, sauté the coconut oil listed in shrimp ingredient list, garlic, and onion until fragrant.
  • Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer, allowing the sauce to reduce for 5 minutes.
  • Place the shrimp in an even layer in the coconut sauce and cook on medium-low until the shrimp is soft and warmed through. This should take 3-5 minutes.
  • Gently stir in lime juice and cilantro. Top the shrimp with crushed red pepper.
  • Place shrimp on top of cauliflower rice, then drizzle the shrimp and rice with the coconut milk sauce.
