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? Not this girl!
For the cauliflower rice in this low carb shrimp with garlic butter, I used already riced and frozen 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 us OCD folks! 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!

Add the riced cauliflower to the bowl and mix to combine.

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!
423 cal per serving – how much is in each serving? Cheers and I love that you are making this easier for the rest of us ‘Ketos’.
1/4 of the recipe. Thank you!
Do you cook the rice frozen
yes, it was still frozen
Just made this tonight and it was a hit! The garlic and parsley flavored the plain cauliflower rice perfectly! Gonna add this to the weekly rotation. Thanks for sharing!
Can this be made in a skillet on the stove?
Yes, that should work just fine
Anyone try this?
How many bags of the frozen riced cauliflower equal a head? the ones Ive bought are usually 16-20 oz?
I would guess 2
The frozen shrimp – is it cooked or raw?
This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it!
It’s raw frozen shrimp ?
