Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 500 grams cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the cauliflower.
Stir in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the risotto. Cook for another 2 minutes to warm the shrimp.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for a creamy, flavorful keto-friendly risotto.
