Creamy Shrimp And Cauliflower Salad Low Carb Food

SHRIMP & CAULIFLOWER SALAD - LOW CARB AND GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• Peel & clean your shrimp, removing the tails also.
• Place the shrimp on a cookie sheet and drizzle with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in a 350 degree oven for 8 - 10 minutes or until opaque. Don't over cook them or they will be rubbery.
• Meanwhile, cut all of the florets off of the cauliflower - discarding the tough bottom stalk. Chop the cauliflower into small pieces. Add the cauliflower (and nothing else) to a microwave safe, shallow bowl or pan, and microwave for about 5 minutes. You want it to be softened but not mushy - you might have to do it in two batches to make sure it cooks evenly.
• While your shrimp and cauliflower are cooling, peel, seed and chop your cucumbers into about 1/2 inch pieces.
• When your shrimp are cool enough to handle, slice into halves or thirds lengthwise to make it pretty, or just chop them roughly if you want to save time.
• Combine your shrimp, cauliflower, and cucumber in a medium bowl. Then add your lemon zest and chopped dill. Pour in your olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat.
• Taste and then season with salt and pepper as desired.

CREAMY SHRIMP CAULIFLOWER RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat a small heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoon butter and let melt. Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon and cook until just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate, cover with aluminum foil and set aside.
• Add 3 tablespoons of butter of the pot and let melt. Add shallot and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Let cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the cauliflower rice and cook 2-3 minutes.
• Add 1 cup of the chicken broth and simmer on medium high until the moisture has been absorbed by the cauliflower. Add 1/2 cup of broth and let absorb. Repeat without remaining 1/2 cup broth.
• Lower heat to medium and add the cream cheese, parmesan and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the cooked shrimp and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
• Garnish with more parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
