Share:
Ingredients
- 1 Large cauliflower cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/4 cup cilantro plus more for garnish, finely chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided use
- 1/2 Cup red onion Thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 Cups bell pepper Thinly sliced, red or yellow
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 15 ounce black bean drained and rinsed ( 1 can, canned
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
Instructions
For the cauliflower rice:
- Place 2 cups of cauliflower in the food processor and pulse until it's chopped to a rice consistency. Repeat the process until all of the cauliflower has been "riced".
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook for 4-6 minutes or until softened and slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the lime juice and cilantro. Divide the cauliflower rice between 4 bowls.
For the shrimp fajitas:
- Heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook for 4-6 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Season the shrimp with the chili powder and add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until shrimps is pink and opaque.
- Divide the shrimp mixture between the 4 bowls; top each bowl with 1/4 of the black beans and avocado. Sprinkle with additional cilantro if desired and serve.
Notes
- Cauliflower rice only needs a quick sauté. Riced cauliflower left on the heat too long will become soft and soggy.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp don't need long to cook, once they turn opaque pink and form a 'c' shape they're ready to go!
- You can leave the tails on the shrimp or take them off. The tails do act as a neat little handle though!
- Use peeled and deveined shrimp.
- Add some chili flakes for a kick of heat.
- Serve with a wedge of lime, for a zesty spritz.
- Sprinkle with some cilantro for a pop of freshness.
