Notes
Instructions for how to create your own cauliflower rice are included above this recipe card. I purchase mine already riced from the produce section of my grocery store to save myself the trouble.You can use frozen cauliflower rice if you like. You may find that it's a bit watery so I'd recommend using less oil when cooking it.Want to add more veggies to this one pot meal? Go for it! I recommend choosing something fast cooking like broccoli. You can steam separately and stir it in or chop it into smaller florets and add it when your cauliflower rice is close to done. If cut small it will steam quickly once the lid is on.If you want to brown your shrimp you'll need to sauté it before cooking the rice. Then remove it from the pan and incorporate back in when the rice is finished.
