Asian Cauliflower Rice Shrimp Bowls

I have been on a cauliflower kick lately. Since I totally indulged during the holidays, I have been counting my calories and trying to watch what I eat, get to the gym, yadda, yadda, yadda. You know the drill. Since cauliflower is a healthy vegetable that fills you up a little more than most veggies, it has been my food of choice. When I learned that Sunday Supper would be displaying healthy rice recipes, I knew I must make one of my cauliflower rice creations. So I present to you these Asian Cauliflower Rice Shrimp Bowls.  

My grocery store sells bags of already riced cauliflower both in the freezer section and produce section. It's very convenient. But you can also get a head of cauliflower and rice it yourself. It can be put into a food processor or you can use a box grater with large holes to turn it into cauliflower rice.

Asian Cauliflower Rice Shrimp Bowls are low- carb and healthy. The thing about cauliflower is that it takes on the flavor of the sauce or spices that are in it. Asian flavors work well in this dish. It's almost as satisfying as Chinese take out with only a fraction of the calories.

The recipe serves two and they are pretty large portions if this is your whole meal. It is enough for four if you are serving other things for dinner. When making Asian food, I like to make a few different recipes for dinner just like I order from a Chinese restaurant. But this can easily be doubled to serve four to six people.  Just make sure to double all ingredients and use a bigger pan. A few minutes cooking time will need to be added also because a large quantity takes a little longer to cook.
