Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup cauliflower rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice-like grains. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding shrimp to get a nice sear.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are opaque throughout. Avoid overcooking to prevent rubbery texture.
- While shrimp are cooking, quickly sauté the cauliflower rice in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Season with a splash of soy sauce.
- Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the avocado into fan-like slices. Set aside for plating.
- Once shrimp and cauliflower rice are cooked, divide the cauliflower rice between two serving bowls.
- Arrange cooked shrimp on top of the cauliflower rice, then strategically place cucumber and avocado slices around the shrimp.
- Drizzle remaining soy sauce over the bowl for additional flavor.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions and serve immediately while still warm.
Tips
- Cauliflower Rice Perfection: Pulse your cauliflower florets carefully to achieve a rice-like texture. Too large, and it won't mimic rice; too fine, and it becomes mushy.
- Shrimp Searing Secrets: Ensure your skillet is hot before adding shrimp. A high heat creates a beautiful golden sear while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Avoid Overcooking: Shrimp cook quickly! The moment they turn pink and opaque, they're done. Overcooked shrimp become tough and rubbery.
- Flavor Boost: For extra umami, consider adding a small amount of wasabi or sriracha to your soy sauce drizzle.
- Meal Prep Friendly: You can prepare components in advance. Cauliflower rice and sliced vegetables can be prepped earlier in the day, making dinner assembly a breeze.
