Gluten-free curried shrimp with cauliflower rice recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower, stem removed, cut into florets
• 3 tablespoons butter, divided
• 2 tablespoons dried curry powder
• 1/2 tablespoon dried cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup diced carrot
• 1 (13 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 pound precooked frozen shrimp, tails removed, thawed
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish

Directions:

1. Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor, and pulse to small pieces about the size of rice. Remove and set aside.

5. Add the shrimp to the coconut milk mixture, and cook just until done or for about 3 to 4 minutes. Toss in the cilantro, and mix.
6. Serve the shrimp and its sauce over the cauliflower rice.
7. Garnish with extra pieces of cilantro.
