    This Low Carb Shrimp Recipe is an easy sheet pan meal that can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. That makes this a low carb 30 minute meal!  Just last week I posted 30 low carb 30 minute meals...check it out!

     This yummy low carb shrimp recipe hits all of the high notes on flavor.

    • It's got shrimp...yaaas!
    • It's got butter...double yaaas!
    • cauliflower...oh heck yes!
    • garlic...come to mama!

    These sheet pan dinners are all the rage right now, and I can definitely see why.  I could have easily made this in a skillet, but who wants to babysit a skillet for 15 minutes when I can just throw everything on a sheet pan and stick it in the oven?

    For the cauliflower rice in this low carb shrimp with garlic butter, I used already riced cauliflower.  These little packages of awesome are such a major shortcut!  You can buy them in the store, or you can make your own like me!  Check out Microwave Cauliflower Rice DIY

    I seriously loathe cutting up a head of cauliflower so these are such a lifesaver for those of us that hate the mess that chopping cauliflower makes.  I mean cutting a head of cauliflower = super messy kitchen with tiny little cauliflower florets all over the floor.  And the worst part?  My dog doesn't eat cauliflower so he leaves me to clean it up!

    I also used frozen shrimp for this low carb shrimp recipe.  Frozen shrimp are such a great budget friendly option...especially when you find it on sale!

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ lbs Raw large frozen shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined
    • 20 ounces Riced cauliflower
    • ½ cup Salted butter, melted
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
    • 2 teaspoon dried, chopped, parsley
    • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

    Instructions

    • Pre-heat oven to 400F
    • Cut the florets off of the stem of the cauliflower and discard the stem.  Add the florets to a food processor and process until it resembles the texture of rice.  Alternatively, you can buy already riced cauliflower in the fresh or frozen section of the supermarket.  If your "rice" is frozen and in chunks, place in a microwave safe container and microwave in 30 second intervals until the chunks can break apart.
    • In a large bowl, add thawed and cleaned shrimp, butter, garlic, parsley, salt and black pepper.  Mix to combine
    • Add the riced cauliflower to the bowl and mix to combine.
    • Pour the shrimp and cauliflower mixture onto a sheet pan, making sure the shrimp are in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Makes 4 servings

      Made this for dinner tonight, my husband has recently been dx as diabetic, insulin not necessary at this point but I am cooking all dinners to try to reverse his dx! This is the perfect d recipe for his low carb, sugar free diet? He absolutely loved it and was amazed at the taste of the riced cauliflower, he thought he was eating rice! I will be making this often, he ate the whole dish! Thankyou

      Really good flavor! I did get the wrong size shrimp but the right amount...It was a little runny but nothing that will take away from the flavor. Very easy to make.

      In the video it shows adding the melted butter etc. into the cauli-rice yet in your recipe instruction you say to add the raw shrimp and butter mixture together in a large bowl and mix to combine. Does it make any difference which way round I do it?
      Thanks,

      I made this tonight and it was AWESOME! I'm cooking for one, so I halved the recipe, used the same amount of garlic as the full recipe, and added more salt and seasonings. WONDERFUL!

      Just made this and it was amazing! Thanks for the recipe!
      I just made half with one bag of Trader Joe's cauliflower rice. I also used basil since I didn't have dried parsley on hand. Once I had it on the sheet I sprinkled garlic powder and Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. Will be making this again and again!
