Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 300 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 medium Cucumber (diced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the cauliflower, and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is golden and tender.
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, cooked shrimp, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and lemon zest. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt or pepper.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
