Ingredients

For the shrimp

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped plus more for garnish
  • 1 each lime, juice and zest
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce

For the rice and toppings

  • 4 cups cauliflower, riced
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or bacon grease or lard
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix (green and purple cabbage, carrots)
  • 2 each avocados, sliced
  • lime wedges (optional garnish)
  • 1 each jalapeño, sliced into thin rounds (optional garnish)

Method

Preparation

  • If your shrimp isn't already peeled and deveined, do so and pat them dry.
  • Chop the cilantro, zest, and juice the lime. Set these aside and make your sauce by mixing mayo and hot sauce, then chill it in the fridge.
  • Rice the cauliflower using a food processor or a hand grater if not pre-riced.

Cooking

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and the riced cauliflower, cooking for about 5 minutes until tender. Lower the heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.
  • Remove the shrimp from heat and mix in the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil, cilantro, lime zest, and juice along with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembly

  • Assemble your bowls starting with a base of cauliflower rice, add some coleslaw mix, top with shrimp, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and optional lime wedges and jalapeño.
  • Drizzle the sauce over everything and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, especially the lime and cilantro. If you can, marinate the shrimp for about 30 minutes in lime juice and cilantro for extra flavor. Feel free to substitute other vegetables for the coleslaw mix based on what you have on hand.
