Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the cauliflower rice: Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, use a box grater.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Set aside.

3

In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4

Add the shrimp to the skillet with the garlic and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

5

Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice.

6

Serve the gambas al ajillo immediately over the prepared cauliflower rice.
