Tipps

Processing Cauliflower

When processing the cauliflower into rice, don't overdo it. You want a rice-like texture, not a puree. Pulsing in a food processor does the job nicely.

Cooking Cauliflower Rice

Cooking cauliflower rice is quick, usually taking just about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook it to avoid it becoming mushy.

Choosing Shrimps

When buying shrimps for grilling, choose large, fresh ones. They're easier to grill and have a better texture.

Grilling Shrimps

Shrimps cook quickly, usually in about 2 minutes per side on a hot grill. They're done as soon as they turn opaque, so be careful not to overcook them.

Variations

This recipe is quite versatile. You can add other vegetables you like and that suit a low-histamine diet, such as green beans or spinach.

Storing and Reheating

This dish is best served immediately, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
