Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon ground paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup crushed garlic croutons
3 cups frozen riced cauliflower (such as Green Giant®)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place shrimp in a shallow baking dish.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and olive oil and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over shrimp and sprinkle with crushed croutons.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 9 to 11 minutes; do not overcook.
  • While shrimp is cooking, place riced cauliflower in a large nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve shrimp over riced cauliflower. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
